Mom brewed her own sauerkraut and, of course, the cabbage was from our big farm garden! Blending the kraut with spicy sausage and apples was Mom's favorite way to fix it, and I still love this country dish. —Rosemary Pryor, Pasadena, Maryland

Chopped Onion SubstituteWhen there’s no time to chop onions, onion powder is one option. Substitute 1 tablespoon of onion powder for one medium chopped onion. For the best onion flavor, use frozen chopped onions or dried minced onion (found in the spice aisle). One tablespoon of dried minced onion equals 1/4 cup minced raw onion.

I make my own sauerkraut and this is one of my husband's favorite ways to enjoy it. Sometimes I substitute cooked bulk Italian sausage for the links, and it tastes just as delicious!

Like an earlier reviewer, I cut the sugar in half and it was fine. My family enjoyed it.

Way too sweet and otherwise flavorless. Couldn't taste the sauerkraut or kielbasa (substituted). Our group of 6 all disliked it. Would definitely not make again.

I've made this several times, but substitute apple juice for the water, and only use 1/4 cup of brown sugar. I serve it with mashed potatoes. I'm making it again tonight, but using a can of Bavarian Sauerkraut with caraway seeds (since I didn't want to spend extra on buying the caraway).

I very reluctantly brought two servings of this recipe to my elderly parents. It was hard to part with a single delicious spoonful. However, I used about 1/2 the amount of sugar, and beef kielbasa. My parents loved it as much as I did! Comfort food at its best.

This is one of my favorite supper dishes. The only thing I do differently is to add 2 chicken bouillion cubes to the hot water. I have a friend who's an excellent cook and that's how she makes her sauerkraut. This dish is savory and delicious!

Substituted smoked polish kielbasa for the italian sausage, sauteed slices w/ the onions to brown them up a bit. Served over mashed potatoes. Yum, yum! This is a really good recipe and easy to prepare. I will definitley make it again and again as we love sauerkraut!Trish DParksville, Bc
