  1. This is a really unique way to fix a sauerkraut meal! Immediately after finishing I tasted a thought oh no...too salty. But I let it sit overnight and the flavors mellowed considerably. I have never tried smoked butt with the kraut before, usually using a pork roast, but this is a nice change. I also threw in 2 fresh kielbasa as my "butt" was small...no comments please. I served this over egg noodles and it was delish. I brought a dish in for a coworker who pronounced me the best cook she has ever met! Who knew? Thanks for making me look so good and for providing a great tasty meal.

I hate to bake (almost as much as I hate to vacuum!), and I'll go to great lengths to avoid having to make cookies.
