This is a great recipe. It tastes very similar to an old Bird's Eye side dish we used to get frozen back in the eighties that is about impossible to find now. I add a teaspoon of powdered beef bouillon and a tablespoon of butter along with the bacon fat, and that makes it almost a perfect copycat. Very popular with my family and at our parish's Oktoberfest meal.

Just made this recipe a day ahead for Thanksgiving. Delicious!!! I am not a fan of beer taste, so I used white wine instead. It's a keeper for me. -
OK. I'm going to try to review this again. Made as directed except used spaetzle I bought at Aldi's. This was definitely missing something. What? Added a little vinegar and that seemed to help. Probably won't make this recipe again, however. -
Exactly what I was looking for. I did not have a beer handy so I used some homemade chicken stock concentrate-other than that I followed your ingredients/directions and am thrilled with the results! Easy recipe to follow-GREAT flavor and yes, I will be making this again. And again. And...
