Hello guys, this is how I make sauerkraut. If I had a nickel for every sauerkraut hater that has been converted by this recipe; I'd be able to recoup my losses from making sauerkraut for everybody. Anywho, this is my recipe; with lots of photographs for your enjoyment.
Ingredients:
2 lbs of sauerkraut*
2 lbs of Polska Kielbasa
1 lb of bacon
1 pt of chicken stock
1 medium sized yellow onion
salt and pepper to taste
*Make sure it's real. Real sauerkraut has no vinegar.
Procedure:
Slice bacon into 3/8 inch wide pieces. Then, put it in a pan over medium high heat.
While that's cooking, slice the onion.
When your bacon looks like this:
Add the chopped onion.
It will take a while for that to cook, so while we wait we'll rinse the sauerkraut. This is absolutely critical to this recipe's success.
Put the sauerkraut in a colander and rinse it for two minutes with cold running water from the tap.
After you rinse the kraut, slice the sausage with your preferred BK&T knife. This will impart the classic Becker metallic flavor. ; )
When the onions and bacon look like this:
Add the sausage.
When it looks like this:
Put everything in a crockpot.
Set that on high heat for 1-12 hours.
And then eat it
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy!
Addendum: This serves 8, and is a whole meal.
