   What's your favorite thing to do with Sour Kraut?
   
   We (well, me, my hubby, & 1 of our 8 kids) love sour kraut!  We make Grilled Reuben's, put it on bratwursts, eat it with ring sausage, and have even added it as a pizza topping.
   What do you like to make with your Sour Kraut?

   I like to first thing in the morning put the sour kraut in a crock pot along with Italian or Polish sausage and let it cook all day. The flavor is amazing as the juices cook into the sausage. This also makes the sour kraut very tender.

   My fave thing to do with Sauerkraut (das ist the proper German spelling y'know! Haha) is to pile it on a hot dog... with a generous dollop of mustard.

   I must be missing something here because the only time I bought sour kraut( or Sauerkraut), it was in a jar, and my hubby made me swear never to buy it again.  So my favourite thing to do with it is walk straight past. I'm glad to hear that some people enjoy it.

      LMAO... that's awesome.  I was waiting for someone to say "throw it in the garbage" or similar.  Not everyone enjoys a good Kraut, but that's OK.
      I'm still waiting for my hubby to make me some Groch

      LOL, innerspin---I'm with you.  I've smelled the stuff before, and to me, it smells like it's already spoiled, so if I found some in my house, I'm afraid my favorite thing to do with it would be toss it in the trash!

   We cook sauerkraut in a large skillet in the oven with spare ribs for several hours. The meat is so incredible. Left over potato dumplings sliced into sauerkraut and cooked in the oven is awesome as well.

   I believe it's spelled sauerkraut. But my favorite thing is to wipe it off the plate into the garbage.
   
   Surprisingly, though, I love kimchi -- Korean pickled cabbage.

      I know what kimchi is... my aunt makes it.  Now that stuff, I do not like.  It's way to hot (spicy) ...  Love my aunt, not her kimchi
      She is from Korea, my uncle met & fell in love with her when he was stationed there. Thanks for your answer :

   I love sauerkraut in two ways: on a hot dog with a bunch of mustard, and also served with crunchy pork chops with mashed potatoes.  Even with just mashed potatoes is really good!

   I eat it straight out of the jar! It's great for the digestion, and a forkful or two about 20 minutes before a meal really gets the stomach ready for dinner.

    I love sauer kraut and there are so many ways to prepare and work with it for me I like kraut as a slaw S
    
    Served alongside a nice piece of pan-fried fish, the sauerkraut slaw requires only 5 simple ingredients. the kraut, grated carrot, olive oil, sugar and pepper it's that simple but taste so good if you want the complete recipe just send me a message
    
    I also like it other ways making it in my soup, stews and dumplings and they are all good .

       Pilsner is beer that is kind of bitter due to hops content.

    Mom Kat,
    This is one of those words you can spell pretty much any way you want, it all sounds the same and we get it.
    
    Sauerkraut is delicious with potato dumplings, pot roast or pork chops. Yum. It makes me hungry to think about it just now.
