Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings in the sauerkraut mixture. Thyme, caraway seeds, or even a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a unique twist. For a richer flavor, consider using a dry cider or apple juice to deglaze the skillet after browning the pork. Add the liquid to the sauerkraut mixture before roasting. Ensure the pork loin is cooked to a safe internal temperature. Use a reliable meat thermometer for accurate readings.

01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
Step
5 mins
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season pork roast generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Brown the pork on all sides in the hot oil until a rich, golden crust forms, about 5 minutes per side.
03
Step
10 mins
In a large bowl, combine the drained sauerkraut, cream of mushroom soup, chopped onion, apple, dried cranberries, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Spoon the sauerkraut mixture into a baking dish, creating a bed for the pork roast. Place the browned pork roast on top of the sauerkraut mixture.
04
Step
1 hrs
Roast in the preheated oven until the meat juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 hour. Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the flavorful sauerkraut.
