This was delicious! I used water instead of beer and used some salt and pepper, but other than that, I followed the recipe as posted. I used half turkey keilbasa and half regular and they both turned out very good. The sauerkraut had a very good flavor and the whole family was pleased with this dish. One thing to keep in mind: if you have a nuclear crock pot like I do (Rival 6 1/2 qt.), this will cook in about half the time...In 1 1/2 hours on high, this started to burn around the edges. I seem to have this problem with whatever crockpot recipe I try, so it must be my pot and not the recipes :) Thanks for sharing...I am going to use the low setting next time!

Wow, this sure smelled great cooking. I used my crock pot on high for the 1.5 hours. It was just right. I used apple juice instead of beer so my kids wouldn't reject it and it was a good substitute. Loved the bacon in this. I also omitted caraway seeds as it's just not my favorite herb/spice, but I'm sure others would enjoy it. I served this with a baked potato and green beans. Thanks!

Oh my gosh! What a delicious recipe! I had an Oktoberfest dinner at my house and I used this recipe for my main entree. It turned out wonderful and cooking it in a crock pot made it very flavorful. I didn't have apples, so I didn't use them. I also used a Bavarian-style sauerkraut. Additionally, I used a pumpkin ale with nutmeg, cinnamon and a few other spices. I used the whole beer because I have a bigger crock pot. It was a hit and I know I'll be making this again.
