Wow! Lots of flavor in this kraut. I oven roasted the bacon till crisp. My Kraut had shredded carrots. Used for topping hot dogs. Made for ZWT 2011. Thanks!

Cut the recipe in half and made to serve with Recipe #422593. Easy to make and nice texture but felt it was too bland . . . the sauerkraut flavor was too diluted. Maybe for those who like sauerkraut, don't drain and cut back on the broth. Made for ZWT #6.

I'm not usually a Sauerkraut fan, but this is delicious. That said, I altered your ratio and used less sauerkraut than called for and had excellent results. Made for ZWT #6 and I'm a Quisine Queen!

All of my favourite ingredients in ONE recipe - this was delicious! I used a good brand of tinned "choucroute" which is French style sauerkraut - and smoked lardons - I ALWAYS have caraway seeds in my pantry as I use them a lot in my cooking and baking. The addition of the potato was a wonderful touch - added a bit if body to the dish! Made for ZWT 4 and very much enjoyed thanks! FT:-)

Very Good, I did drain the bacon grease a tad before adding the sauerkraut.
