Altdeutscher Sauerkraut Kuchen German Sauerkraut Pie

---

A traditional german recipe that may be an acquired taste for some. This is similar to a quiche, but less eggy. if you can't find bacon you can dice, i think diced canadian bacon or cooked dice ham would also be nice in this. Tip: if you use kitchen shears to chop up your sauerkraut before adding it to the recipe, it will be easier to cut the pie.
