- Cook Time: 80 mins

Ingredients
- 4 pound boneless pork roast, thawed
- 16 ounce bag fresh sauerkraut, undrained
- 1 large roasting bag (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Open the roasting bag and cut several slits in the top to let the steam escape. Place the bag on the bottom of a broiler pan (not the rack), or in a large baking dish or casserole (see note).
- Rinse the pork roast and pat it dry. Place the roast in the roasting bag.
- Pour the sauerkraut and it’s liquid over the roast. Close the roasting bag with the twist tie that comes with it.
- Place the pork in the oven and roast for 20 minutes per pound, approximately 80 minutes. After the first hour check the roast for doneness with an instant meat thermometer. When the pork registers 160° F on the instant meat thermometer, it’s done.
- Take the roast out of the oven and cut the top of the bag open. Let the roast rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
If you don’t have a roasting bag, follow the recipe directions, but place the roast and sauerkraut in a casserole with a lid. Cover it while cooking.
Sliced thinly, it makes terrific “sandwiches” layered with crisp lettuce, sliced onions, tomatoes, and mayonnaise. For an extra kick, sprinkle the pork with some garlic salt.
