Sauerkraut My Grandmas Way Recipes

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.

SAUERKRAUT MY GRANDMA'S WAY

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
• 2. Layer slightly drained sauerkraut, sliced onions and apples in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
• 3. Sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic over pork. Lay on top of sauerkraut. Cover roaster. Bake for 1 3/4 hours.
• 4. Add kielbasa, cut into 2-3 inch pieces to roaster and continue baking for another 30 minutes.
• 5. I serve this dish just like my grandma did. Mashed potatoes, homemade applesauce and a good dark rye along with a good beer. Not the prettiest dish color wise with everything being the same color, but delicious never the less.
