So, I get bored with the same old sausage and kraut, so I looked around YouTube to see new ideas for sauerkraut. I found a great channel called, Cooking the World, and the video on ways Germans have it in their meals. This video, she talks about 10 German dishes that include sauerkraut, their health benefits and other good information about kraut itself. Several dishes I will be trying for sure.
Anyway, I didn't have a recipe from her video, so I had to put my meal together just with her description of the dish, so here goes. Oh and I am cooking for 2, you will need to double or triple it for a family.
Sauerkraut-Auflauf - German sauerkraut casserole
Ingredients
4 small/medium potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
1 Tbsp salt
2 cups sauerkraut, drained
onion
garlic salt
Pepper
Liverwurst, I used Ground Beef
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions:
In a pot of water, cook the potatoes until tender, then mash them with a tbsp of salted butter till smooth. While your potatoes are cooking, brown your ground beef in onions, salt, garlic, and pepper. Grate up the cheese, 2 cups or more. In my house, there is very too much cheese!
To put it all together, in a small casserole dish, spread a layer of potatoes, then the kraut, the meat and top with cheese. Repeat another time and top the whole thing with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, since everything is cooked, it's just to get it all warm and melty.
My German husband thoroughly enjoyed it and it's going to be on the repeat from now on. Let me know if it is for your household.
Until next time!
