Just what I was going to say! I do mine in reverse ... Browned pork chops covered with the kraut, bake for a bit then drop soft dumplings on top to finish baking - yum!I love that but don't forget the dumplings!

I make cabbage borscht....onion; large can of tomatoes, couple of potatoes cut up, (put in later than the rest of the stuff so they don't turn to mush), the saurcraut, and I like mine sweet and sour, therefore brown sugar and lemon or citric acid., salt and pepper....excellent for freezing
Here's my recipe...It's quite tasty!
SOUR KRAUT SALAD
1 can sauerkraut, drained
1 lg. onion, diced fine
1 lg. green pepper, diced fine
1 c. celery, diced fine
1/2 c. salad oil
1/2 c. vinegar
1 1/2 c. sugar
Combine sauerkraut, onion, green pepper and celery. Beat until thick: salad oil, vinegar and sugar. Pour over salad. Refrigerate and let stand overnight.
You may want to cut down on the sugar.

Constance, I've been using the same recipe for years and it's outstanding, I use red onion for color, and use only 1/2 cup sugar. In my experience, the salad needs to be drained after the overnight marinade.
I even had it published in a club cookbook, and called it "Trust Me Sauerkraut Salad" People who hate sauerkraut love this unusual salad, even kids.
With hot weather nearly here, it's really good with grilled or barbecued pork.
I will make this this weekend! Thanks Constance and Kayelle!
How would swapping out the green peppers for jalapenos work? Got some beauties.
vitauta said:i never did get the appeal of those novelty recipes for "mock" apple pie, for instance, made with potato chips and cinnamon. so now there is a sauerkraut cake and what's special about it is that you can't tell there's sauerkraut in it? i prefer a dish that TASTES like sauerkraut because i happen to LIKE the taste of sauerkraut. am i missing something here?
We always put sauerkraut on pizza...my DH's sauerkraut is quite good. We also make sausage and sauerkraut with juniper berries...it has been awhile since I've done that, so I can't remember if there is anything else in there...
I know I have seen several reuben casserole and reuben soup recipes in various cookbooks I have. Keep meaning to make the soup and just haven't gotten around to it.
