Cooking Notes
My Dad used to make something like this for breakfast when we'd had sauerkraut the night before. He'd cook a couple of slices of bacon to almost crisp, drink and crumble them; mix the leftover sauerkraut with sliced onion and fry the mix until it began to caramelize, then toss in some grated "hard" apple (like a Granny Smith) and when sauerkraut, onions and apple were well browned, toss the bacon back in to warm up again, and "voila!", with my Mom's Bisquick pancakes we had breakfast.
Saute onions before the sauerkraut.
I also added pre-sauteed onions and doubled the apple slices. Delicious and light. This gets 5 stars and is simple to make.
Nice, easy dish. I added a small, sliced onion in step 1 and reduced the butter but otherwise followed the recipe for a quick weeknight meal.
I used vegan field roast sausages. Delicious

Easy and delicious. I added half an onion based on Brenda's suggestion. Not sure why Marian Burros suggested this be served with pita bread. Make sandwiches by stuffing sauerkraut and sausage in the pita?

5/30/2018. We loved this recipe! The suggestion to saute some onions before the sliced bratwurst was a good idea.
