....I wouldn't put the sauerkraut in until about an hour before serving....the sauerkraut might turn to mush....however, I WOULD cut up a medium onion and put THAT in with the pork...

I've cooked it all day before and it doesn't turn to mush.

I've cooked kielbasa and sauerkraut together in the crock pot for hours and it has always turned out great! One warning - it smells so good you'll want to keep taking a sample LOL Enjoy!

I always rinse the sauerkraut with water and squeeze it. I also only buy the bagged stuff. Rinsing seems to take out some of the sourness I also add some more water when cooking. I use onion, pepper, and some applesauce.

Absolutely! We do pork & kraut, hot dogs & kraut or kielbasa & kraut. When I do pork (a roast) I wait & put the kraut in about 2 hours before serving. With hot dogs or kielbasa for some reason I put it all in together. I've had hot dogs & kraut in a crock pot for an entire day & it held up just fine.

I first brown my pork with beer. Then i put the kraut and the pork in the crock. No washing the kraut! No adding any sugar. I do use a good beer and add a little of that.

We use our own Kraut and I have never had it turn to mush!

I cook it all day and when I come home make up some pierogies. Perfect for Steeler Sundays!
