One-pot cabbage stew

This is soo good! I developed this recipe from one I got from woman I met in Florida. She was raised in PA.

2 Bags preshredded coleslaw mix ( I prefer the mix with purple cabbage in it, but use what is avail)
2 160z cans sauerkraut
1 med.minced onion
1 package onion soup mix
1lb raw ground pork or cube up 2-3 raw boneless pork chops
1 lb/package smoked beef sausage (can use polska keilbasa) cut into slices
1/2 stick butter
2tbls olive oil
1tbls pepper
dash of salt
1/4 cup water

Combine all ingredients in crock pot, be sure to stir through. If there is not enough room for all the cabbage, wait an hour or two, then add more. ( it will shrink as it cooks)
Cook 6-8 hours. Serve over hot mashed potatoes, or noodles. Serves many!
