Sauerkraut and Pork Meatballs

My mom raved over this as she went back for helping after helping. It is especially good if you also like that famous NY style "beef on wick" taste, as well!


1 1/2 lbs lean ground pork
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbls milk
2 tsp caraway seeds, divided
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp black pepper
32 oz. sauerkraut, drained
1/2 cup chopped onion
6 slices bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled. (I used turkey bacon and eyeballed the amount since I cut it before I cooked it.)


1. Combine ground pork, bread crumbs, egg, milk, 1 tsp Caraway seeds, salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper in a large bowl. Shape into 2-inch balls. Brown meatballs in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Combine sauerkraut, onion, cooked bacon, and remaining 1 tsp Caraway seeds in slow cooker. Add cooked meatballs and gently mix around until meatballs are slightly covered (as shown above.)

3. Cover; cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or HIGH for 2-3
