Jolean's Crock Pot Old World Sauerkraut Supper

This is a german recipe that my mom made for us every new year's day. although my siblings didn't care for sauerkraut, mom insisted that we eat pork & sauerkraut for good luck on new year's day back in the 70's. well, this is the recipe that we all loved, and i handed it down to my kids as well...a true tradition in my family, and a recipe that i found in one of mom's crock pot cookbooks from 1970, but tweaked just a bit so we all would like it! truly yummy, totally filling, and the switch-up she made to using bavarian" sauerkraut makes all the difference in taste! both of my ex-dh's love this recipe and brag about it to other people to this day..."
