I have three words for you: Easiest.Recipe.Ever.
For just about $12, you can put a delicious home cooked meal on your table that will take you less than an hour. I promise I am not screwing around, this Roasted Sauerkraut Pork Loin is so easy and there will literally be no leftovers. So make 2 if you want some for the next day.
My sister has been making this for years and it’s the go-to meal when we really don’t feel like cooking. Whip up some mashed potatoes (or faux mashed, if you are watching the lbs) and some red cabbage and you are good to go.
Roasted Sauerkraut Pork Loin
- 1 Pork Loin (plain, not the seasoned kind)
- 4-6 pieces of Garlic
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 1 can Sauerkraut
- Salt & Pepper
- Olive Oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Rinse off pork loin and pat dry. Take a baking pan and drizzle some olive oil down and place pork on top.
Take a knife and cut holes to stick garlic. I like to do about 4-6 slits then shove a piece of garlic in to give flavor. Top with salt, pepper and onion slices.
Pour can of sauerkraut over the entire pork loin. It will fall to the sides, which is what you want. Be sure the juice is also poured on to the pork loin.
Rule of thumb: Cook pork loin for 30 minutes per pound. The one I bought was 1.5 lbs and roasted for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165.
Slice and serve with the roasted sauerkraut. Want to amp it up? Mash up some taters, heat up some red cabbage, and you have a meal that the whole fandamily will freak over. The kids will even love it – my picky lil boogers inhale this pork up!
Eat up!!
