We are getting some winter temperatures this year, which I dearly love. With the winter weather outside it reminds me to pull out my crock pot and create all kinds of warm comfort food. I honestly don’t know what I would do without my crock pot. I use it year round. I love one pot meals that all you have to do is add a salad and you are ready to eat. I work full time so I love the thought of getting home and dinner is almost ready. Using your crock pot will save you money. It really is cheaper to cook a meal at home than stop for take-out food.

This is my fifth crock pot meal that I will share with you this month. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as my family.

Crock Pot Goulash

2 bacon slices, diced

1 cup chopped onion

1 1/2 to 2 pounds lean pork, cut in 1-inch cubes (or a mixture of pork and beef)

2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika

1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds

1/2 cup dry white wine

4 medium red potatoes, cut in 1-inch cubes

1 large green bell pepper, cut in 1-inch pieces

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 1/2 cups sauerkraut, rinsed and squeezed dry

1 large tomato, diced

8 ounces light sour cream

salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat, stirring, until bacon is crisp. Place pork (and beef, if used) in Crock Pot with the paprika, caraway seeds, wine, potatoes, peppers, broth, and sauerkraut. Add bacon and onions and mix well. Cover and cook on low from 8 to 10 hours. About 15 to 20 minutes before done, add diced tomato and sour cream. Serve hot. Makes about 6 servings.
