Grampa was of German heritage and loved the old-world recipes his mother gave him. I made a few changes so I could prepare this dish in a slow cooker and give it a slightly updated flavor.
Ingredient:
4 thick-sliced bacon strips
1 pound baby Yukon Gold potatoes
4 medium carrots, sliced
1 can (14 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
3/4 cup chopped dill pickles
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 pounds)
2 packages (14.4 ounces each) frozen pearl onions, thawed
