German-Style Pork Sandwiches
Ingredients
  • 1
    14 1/2 ounce can sauerkraut with caraway seed, rinsed and drained
  • 1
    2 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder or sirloin roast
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2
    cup creamy Dijon-style mustard blend
  • 1
    cup beer or nonalcoholic beer
  • 8
    slices rye bread, toasted
  • 1
    cup shredded Swiss cheese (4 ounces)
Directions

1. Place sauerkraut in a 3-1/2- or 4-quart electric crockery cooker. Trim fat from meat. Sprinkle meat lightly with salt and pepper. Spread 2 tablespoons of the mustard blend over meat. Place meat on top of sauerkraut. Add beer. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or until meat is tender. (Or, cover and cook on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.)

2. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Cool slightly. Using two forks, shred meat apart; discard fat. Drain sauerkraut; set aside. Discard cooking liquid. Spread remaining mustard blend on one side of each bread slice. Top with sauerkraut and meat. Sprinkle with cheese. Place sandwiches on unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serves 8.

Yum! Really great dinner that I threw together in 5-10 minutes. I left it on high for about 4.5 hours and the meat was falling apart tender. Had to scoop the meat out. It was a crowd pleaser and I would definitely make this again.
