Description

Ingredients

• 4 slices (about 4 ounces) bacon, diced
• 1 (27 ounce) can sauerkraut
• 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
• Optional garnish: caraway seeds and/or parsley

Directions

• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook bacon until crispy (about 5-10 minutes).
• Remove bacon from pot with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain off most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 teaspoon in the bottom of the pot.
• Drain sauerkraut, but reserve the liquid from the can.
• Place drained sauerkraut, brown sugar, and cooked bacon into the pot. Heat over low heat until warmed through and sugar is dissolved. Add enough of the reserved liquid until it reaches desired consistency. Serve right away, or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
