| here's one i came up with that was a big hit. i usually double the recipe. |
| it's best with fresh bratwurst, not the precooked kind. remember to pierce |
| the brats prior to cooking so they don't explode. |
| |
| |
| 6 slice | bacon |
| 1 small | onion, finely chopped |
| 2 clove | garlic, finely minced |
| 2 lb. | sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained |
| 4 medium | potatoes, peeled and sliced |
| 2 cup | water |
| 1 tsp | caraway seed |
| 1 large | or several small bay leaves |
| 1 lb. | fresh bratwurst (about 5 or 6) |
| |
| fry bacon in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat until crisp; |
| remove, drain and crumble; set aside. drain off all but 3 tbsp of |
| drippings; add onion and garlic to drippings; cook over medium heat until |
| soft. stir in sauerkraut, 2 cups water, potatoes, caraway seed and bay |
| leaf. cover and cook over medium heat. in another skillet, brown bratwurst |
| over medium heat, browning all sides. when cooked, cut into 1 chunks and |
| add to sauerkraut. (optional: deglaze bratwurst pan with a little water |
| and add to sauerkraut) cook until potatoes are tender. add crumbled bacon, |
| discard bay leaf and serve with your favorite mustard. |
