Bratwurst And Sauerkraut Casserole

---

This is good used with bavarian sauerkraut for a sweeter taste. put in crock pot and forget about it. my mother made this first then passed the recipe to me. it originated from american profile magazine.

---

Steps

---

Preheat oven to 350.

---

I put mine in the crockpot.

---

Drain and rinse sauerkraut in a colander.

---

Mix with all the ingredients in a bowl and pour into large casserole dish cover and bake for 1 1 / 4 to 1 1 / 2 hours.

---

Or let cook in crockpot on low for several hours until potatoes are tender.

---

I usually add 1 can of water and mix well.

---

Add more water accordingly throughout the day.

---

I let mine cook all day on low.

---

You can also try substituting the brown sugar with applesauce and apple chunks for color and texture.

---

I also use the bavarian kraut--this gives this dish a sweeter flavor--even my kids like it.
