This Pork Roast and Sauerkraut is the perfect hearty dinner. Everything roasts together in the oven for quick prep, and it’s a great and easy tradition for New Year’s Day. There’s nothing like a good, old-fashioned tradition! My German grandmother most certainly instilled a love for all things sauerkraut in me. She often served it with pork – and not just on New Year’s Day, we definitely had it year round. I really enjoy apples with my pork (just like my Pork Chops with Apples and Onions, or my Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Bacon). So here, I’m sharing our very traditional pork loin roast with sauerkraut, apples and onion. I roast it in the oven like my grandma did – so easy and super fuss-free with just a few simple ingredients! Ingredients you’ll needHere is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe.

How to make Pork Roast and Sauerkraut1. Start by seasoning the pork with salt and pepper, then brown it in the butter in a large Dutch oven (or other oven-safe pan with lid) for a few minutes on both sides. 2. Once the pork is browned, add the onions to the pan and roast them for a few minutes, tossing them from time to time. You just want them to start to soften and get a little color, they don’t need to fully cook. 3. In a large bowl, combine the sauerkraut, apples, brown sugar and maple syrup. Feel free to taste and add seasoning/white wine vinegar to your taste! 4. Spread the sauerkraut mixture over the pork in the Dutch oven. Make sure to cover all the meat evenly so the top doesn’t dry out as it roasts. Close the lid and roast in the hot oven for 1.5 to 2 hours. I recommend starting to check the internal temperature of the roast after 1 hour and 20 minutes, then check every 10-15 minutes to make sure you’re not overcooking the meat – it really dries out if it is in the oven for too long, because it’s such a lean cut. 5. Rest the pork for 5 minutes on the counter, then dig it out of the sauerkraut. Cut the pork roast into thick slices against the grain. I recommend you serve this immediately and don’t leave it sitting around – especially not once the roast has been sliced. Again, it’s a lean cut, so you want to retain as much of the juiciness as possible! Serve the roast over the sauerkraut and apples – such a wonderful comfort food dinner! Recipe tips
Pork roast FAQsWhat temperature should you cook a pork roast to? According to the USDA, you should cook pork loin to an internal temperature of 145°F, then let it rest for 3 minutes. This is for cooking the pork roast to medium. It will be well done at 160°F. If you want it well done, remove the pork when it reaches 155°F and follow with a 5 minute rest. Is it best to cook a pork roast covered or uncovered? Definitely covered! This is a lean cut with little fat, so covering it helps to lock in the
juices. Does pork roast get more tender the longer you cook it? It’s best to cook the pork roast at a moderate temperature (we’re doing 350°F here) for a good amount of time. However, you only want to cook it until it reaches the safe internal temperature of 145°F – 160°. Cooking the roast for longer than this will only dry it out and make it tough, not more tender. Serving ideasWe love this recipe with mashed potatoes (make them in the instant pot, if you like!) on the side. And a goo helping of whole grain Dijon mustard! If you want to add some greens, I suggest making sautéed green beans – it’s our favorite with this dish. More easy pork recipes
