3 Jars Sauerkraut

3-4 pound Pork Roast

4 strips of Bacon (optional)

2-3 cloves whole garlic sliced in half or quartered

2. Brown roast on stove top in a little canola or corn oil.

3. Spray bottom of roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray and place strips of bacon on the bottom

4. Cover with about 1/2 of the sauerkraut and add pork roast then the rest of the sauerkraut.

5. Cook on stove top on LOW for about 1/2 hour then move to oven set at 325º and finish cooking for about 3 hour.
