‘Amish New Year Feast’—this dish always reminds me of the Amish tradition of starting the year with good luck and good food!

Slow cooker Amish pork and sauerkraut is a comforting dish that warms the heart and soul, making it perfect for family gatherings and cozy nights in. Deeply rooted in Amish and Eastern European traditions, this dish is known for its simplicity and bold flavors. The tender pork, combined with the tang of sauerkraut, creates a delectable meal that’s easy to prepare, allowing you more time to spend with loved ones. Whether you’re honoring family traditions or simply want a hearty, delicious meal, this recipe is for you.

This dish pairs wonderfully with creamy mashed potatoes or a side of buttered egg noodles, which help to soak up the flavorful juices. A simple green salad or steamed green beans can add a fresh touch to your plate. For a more rustic meal, consider serving with rye bread or homemade buttered rolls. Don’t forget to add a dollop of applesauce for a sweet counterpoint to the sauerkraut’s tanginess.
