I made this for my son’s 21st birthday bonfire, which included a dozen buddies. The kraut topping flavors are fabulous. — Keeley Weber, Sterling Heights, Michigan

Excellent!

I only had 5 bratwurst, but followed the rest of the recipe as written. If I use 12 as the recipe lists, I'd double the amount of the rest of the ingredients. My family loves sauerkraut!
