The sauerkraut filling is really really good, my wife and I enjoyed them, I will be using this recipe over and over again in the future. The peppers and the garlic blend very nicely with the sauerkraut. Thank You Uncle Bill! -
This filling was great, not only did my perogies taste better than the others at the potluck; they looked great compared to the gross stinky brown blob-ish kraut in the store bought perogies. Although it took a little bit of prep it was very worth it for the results. My family and I thank you!
