Ingredients

  • 3 pound Boneless Pork Roast
  • 1 2 pound package Frank's Kraut
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 4 stalks celery chunked

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Rinse pork roast, and pat dry, generously sprinkle it with salt and pepper and rub in all over the roast.
  • Coat the bottom of your dutch oven in a couple of Tablespoons of Olive oil, and place on the stove on Medium-High heat. Place roast in pan and sear on all sides until it's a nice golden brown.

  • Place the roast in the middle. Sprinkle onions and celery around the roast.
  • Cover and bake 20 minutes per pound. 60 Minutes for a three pound roast.
