Delicious!!!!!! And easy to make.
I did not care for this recipe.
This was simple, cheap, and delicious! I did substitute brown sugar for color too. We had this over hot links and mustard with a side of bbq’d corn on the cob and George Killian’s Irish Red. I would highly recommend this recipe!
I think there was too much sugar in this recipe.
AWESOME!!!!!
I made this exactly the way it said to and I loved it!
Maybe our saurkraut was too sour? but this was not great and I wouldnt make it again.
Pretty good-but I add 1/2 tbsp of caraway seeds, a peeled and diced apple, and a diced onion that was sauteed in the a little bit of the bacon grease. Then it was awesome!!!
Very nice…a change from the ordinary..I will make this again for my family…they loved it..and it was quick and easy..
Wow! I love traditional sauerkraut, but this recipe kicks it up a notch. I’m not one of those who loves bacon in everything, but it makes this dish. I used brown sugar to deepen the color, and I bought brown sugar cured bacon. I simmered it for about 40 minutes on the stove and added water as needed, but some of the bacon on the bottom got a little caramelized which really sent it over the top. I added about a tbsp of apple cider vinegar at the end just to balance out the sweet. BF and I loved it! Even better the next day!
This was OK, though not exceptional.
I’m not sure why everyone is using brown instead of reg. sugar, I only added 2-3 tbl. butter and simmered it about 45min.-1hr. for tenderness. This was an excellent dish. Thanks Anita G. from the whole family “even the mother-in-law)
This was good and I really liked the bacon but the sugar changed the flavor of the sauerkraut to much for me. Next time I’ll make this and leave out the sugar.
Very quick and easy recipe. My husband loved it.
We love this recipe…we use brown sugar in place of the white ….our favorite way to eat it is over hot dogs or bratwurst on a bun. Will have to try it with pork roast, thanks!
This was so tasty. My b/f is not a sauerkraut fan and refused to try it, but I loved it, and finished it off the next day. It’s a keeper!
This recipe was awesome! My husband does not like sauerkraut, but had seconds and thirds of this recipe. Our 3 year old also loved it.
