  1. 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!
     
  2. This dish was so easy to put together, and cook in the crockpot. I love German food, and this was very good. I used Bavarian-style sauerkraut, rinsed and drained, and a German beer. Outcome was appreciated by the family. Thanks for sharing this recipe, SharonP.
     
  3. 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!
     
  4. This full-flavored dish really hit the spot. The combination of ingredients is right on and I wouldn't change a thing. Easy to prepare is also a plus. Thanks so much, Sharon P, for sharing this great recipe. I will be making it over and over again. :-)
     
  5. 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.
