This is an extremely interesting, unique recipe but oh-so-delicious!! A friend made it for us and I tricked my husband into trying a bite since he "hates" sauerkraut. He loved it and now I make it all the time. I am going to try it with sauteed cabbage, onion, and shredded carrot and see if that is just as good. I will try to post a review after that. Try this recipe - you won't be sorry!

My family really enjoyed this. I didn't use onion salt---I sauteed an onion in butter. I also used ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. This recipe is a keeper!!!

Loved this! I used about 1 1/2 pounds of sausage and doubled the sauerkraut. To cut down on the saltiness, I used dried minced onion instead of onion salt and a low sodium chicken broth. You really need to get the sauerkraut as dry as you can; I put mine in a dish towel and squeezed the heck out of it. The boys thought Swiss cheese might be a better flavor, so we will try that next time.

This was super.. except it was a bit too salty for my taste. I will make it again however I'll use 1/2 or 1/4 of the onion salt suggested. Used a nice smoked bockworst sausage from Denningers. Made enough for about 6 people. Thanks!

I thought this recipe sounded like it had sort of strange ingredients but I tried it anyway. It is delicious! It also freezes well and reheats in the microwave. Very tasty
