“...and fell in love with sauerkraut.”
Try sprinkling a little brown sugar on the sauerkraut while it’s sauteing in the skillet. I learn that trick from the fellow who ran a popular hot dog stand in Boothbay Harbor.
My mom used to make a barbeque sauerkraut that looked weird but was really tasty.
Brat fans might like to try Stadium Brats, they’re precooked so you just have to warm them up and the casing is thinner. Also Brat Burger patties. With mustard and cheese of course ;-)
Sprinkle some apple cider vinegar on it and add bacon along with that brown sugar.
Magic. I promise.
