    This is definitely The Best Pork and Sauerkraut I have ever had. Baked in the oven pork roast with brown sugar sauerkraut, red potatoes, and carrots. You are sure to be a hit at Sunday dinner with this one.

    The Best Pork and Sauerkraut

    Most of the dinners that I have shared have been made in the instant pot like instant Pot Ham and Cabbage Dinner or slow cooker -Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore. This Pork and Sauerkraut was made in a traditional oven. Making it totally took me back to my childhood. It screamed Sunday night dinner to me. My mother was always great at making food stretch a long way. I guess when you have 7 kids and very little money, you learn to do that. Never did we go hungry though. My mother was and is a great cook.

    They say pork and sauerkraut are traditionally eaten on New Year's Eve for good luck. Although I've never followed that tradition.

    What kind of pork should you use for pork and sauerkraut? I have used pork chops in the past. However, I find a pork roast to be much more flavorful.

    Do you sear the meat first? I do sear my roast on all sides to give it a crispy outside and seal in the flavor. If you choose to skip this step, I'm sure it would still be good.
