Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper, on all sides.
On preheated grill, or in oven (on broil), sear the ribs on all sides (4 or 5 minutes per side on grill).
Empty 1 can of sauerkraut in to empty crock pot. Place ribs on top of Sauerkraut. Add the remaining Sauerkraut, covering the ribs. Cook on high for 4-6 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours (or as directed in crock pot instructions).
Add beer, if desired (it keeps the sauerkraut from drying out and adds a lot to the taste of the finished dish).
Serves 4.
