This is an easy to make recipe, which rates high on my "comfort food" list. I added a few more hot dogs, and cut them into smaller pieces which distributed them more evenly throughout the dish. Next time, I'm going to substitute smoked bratwurst to jazz up the taste a little, but it's fine as is. I also think adding a few finely diced kosher dills would kick it up a bit. These changes might not be as acceptable to kids as they are to adults, but it's fun to experiment. -
The simplicity of this was great! I neded a quick meal for when the kids came back from swimming and knowing that I would be tired too I sliced the weiners small and placed the whole mixture in the crock pot as we left.We returned to a cool home with a welcoming aroma and instant food! -
I love this casserole! When my best friend visits (only about twice a year because of distance) we end up eating the entire thing by ourselves (guess it's a good thing its only twice a year)! I make it with regular mustard, a whole can of saurkraut and polish sausage chopped fine. Mmmmmm! -
Comfort food at its best! I enjoyed the addition of brown sugar and mustard, the sauerkraut had a nice mild flavor. Thanks Bergy, another great recipe! -
Yummy and easy. Yes, the saurkraut really does mellow with the mustard and brown sugar. I diced my hot dogs up really tiny. We all enjoyed this and I'll make this again. Thanx for sharing!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
