Mom's Sauerkraut

I found this recipe fairly bland for my taste. So - I made it again but did not rinse the sauerkraut, used beer instad of water and added a heaping tablespoon of dijon mustard at the end. This version got raves. I do appreciate the recipe since I did not know about sauteing onions in butter and adding shredded potatoes. -
We really liked this,will make again.Thanks Linda

I'm married (46 years to the same lucky guy) and have 2 kids, a daughter 41, a son 36, and 2 beautiful grand daughters (8 yrs and 6 yrs). I have always enjoyed cooking and baking, especially breads :) One of my favorite quotes:?? Computers are like air conditioners; they stop working when you open Windows.
