• Add in the chopped bacon, mix well.
• Add in the sauerkraut and mix well. Cook for 5 minutes on high, then reduce the heat to medium.
• The sauerkraut is ready when it is golden brown and smells delicious.
• Serve hot and enjoy!

EASY SAUERKRAUT RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook bacon until crispy (about 5-10 minutes).
• Drain off most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 teaspoon in the bottom of the pot.
• Drain sauerkraut, but reserve the liquid from the can.
• Place drained sauerkraut and brown sugar in the pot with the bacon. Heat over low heat until warmed through and sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Add enough of the reserved liquid from the sauerkraut until the dish reaches the desired consistency. Serve right away, or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

EASY HOMEMADE SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Mix cabbage, onion, sea salt, and garlic together in a bowl. Firmly pack mixture into a large, clean, food-grade plastic bucket. The cabbage will start to make its own brine as the salt starts to draw out the water of the cabbage.
• Fill a large, clean, food-grade plastic bag with water and place over the salted cabbage mixture so none of the cabbage is exposed to air.
• Allow cabbage to ferment in a cool, dry place, 1 to 4 weeks (depending on how tangy you like your sauerkraut). The temperature of the room you ferment the sauerkraut in should not rise above 70 degrees F (21 degrees C).
