    I grew up eating it only with hotdogs too. I married a man who was born in Germany to a German mother and an American father, so I have become very accustomed to sauerkraut.

    It's not supposed to be super salty like the kind from the can. Rinse it briefly then put it in a pot. You can add smoked porkchops, bacon etc, or apples or caraway. Let it simmer a while, it should be soft, not crunchy.

    We usually eat it as a side dish.

    Here in Pennsylvania Dutch country we eat "Pork and Kraut", which is shredded pork loin mixed in with the Kraut.

    Yea though I'm a veg and don't eat the pork, it's a much loved tradition :)

    mashed potatoes!!!

    THIS^^^ Or fried potatoes, or any potatoes. Also, you could make stuffed cabbages and add the saur kraut to the pot.

    deliciuos side salad

    sourkraut (250 grams)
    1 small carrot
    half of apple
    small onion
    1 tbsp olive
    1 tsp sugar

    chop everything in very small pices and mix, serve with pork chops and mashed potato

    forgot important detail
    the salad is suppose to be sweet and sour so if kraut is really salty, wash it before

    Hebrew National has a 97% FF hot dog that has only 40 calories....I personally love them. A hot dog (or even 2 at that low calorie level) and some sauerkraut with a little calorie free spicy mustard....sounds fabulous to me!

    Also, as alot of people suggested - pork goes great with it - every New Years Day we have pork and sauerkraut in the crock pot with either apples or pears (or both)....

    I'm getting so hungry now!! haha!

    Yep, here in Lancaster, PA ~ Dutch Country, we eat pork and sauerkraut! Throw some pork chops and sauerkraut in a crock pot for the day! I'd eat mash potatoes too, but not any more since trying to eat healthier!

    We usually serve it as a side dish with some type of sausages (bratwurst, kielbasa, etc.), roast pork loin, or pork chops.

    I usually make it Bavarian style: rinse and drain the sauerkraut well. While it's draining, slice some onions (and apples if you like) and fry them in a skillet with just a bit of butter. When they are soft, add in the sauerkraut. Then add vinegar (I usually use apple cider vinegar) and brown sugar. You can add caraway seeds too, but I don't care for that flavor so usually skip them.

    Put it in a crockpot or dutch oven, mince a few cloves of garlic and sprinkle on the kraut, add a minced apple if you want it a litttle sweeter, place a lean porloin ontop, add about 1 cup water and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Cook on low for 4-5 hours, serve with a baked potato or mashed. I use the broth as a gravy for my mashed. You could also substitute pork chops, german bratwursts, smoked pork roast.

    be careful! Rueban Sandwiches are high calorie!

    Traditionally, yes. But as with most things, you can make yourself a low cal version, with the basic principle of meat, cheese, sauerkraut, sauce, and bread.

    I had a recipe from a 4 ingredient cook book. I can't find the book anymore but I remember that recipe. Spray your baking dish and pour in your sauerkraut, put in ribs, pork or beef whichever you prefer and then sprinkle with brown sugar. Cover with foil and bake at 350 until the ribs are done. MMM so good. Hubby doesn't like sauerkraut so I can only make this when he isn't home.

    Hmmmmm, he won't be home tonight and I have some boneless pork chops. I may just have to make that substitution! Oh wait, I don't think I have the sauerkraut. Dang it.

    We made this with Walden's 1000 Island 0 calorie dressing and it was FANTASTIC and much lower in calories than what it shows here! So delicious!

    I grew up with sauerkraut and pork tenderloin simmering all day in a crock pot.

    This, or keilbasa (there are turkey keilbasa). I try to eat clean, so I normally do organic pork sausage, and eat ALOT of kraut, 1 sausage (topped with whole grain mustard), a small potato and have a salad before dinner.
