Rinse the sauerkraut in cold water and squeeze very dry. Add sauerkraut to the saucepan and cook for several minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, the mushrooms and their liquid and simmer for 15 minutes.

Cover with half the meats, both the sausage and the cooked meat. Cover with half remaining sauerkraut, the rest of the meat and then the last of the sauerkraut.
