I've prepared this several times already and love it. I use 2 cans of Bavarian Sauerkraut undrained and omit the caraway seeds.

This was hit. I do NOT like sauerkraut, but I found myself going back for seconds. Great recipe.

I made this as written, but without the sausage and with beef broth instead of beer. It was quick, easy, & delicious!

Tastes nothing like I remember growing up but that's a good thing, this was delicious! I think the smoked sausage was the secret flavor,the spareribs were very tender. I wouldn't sub the fingerlings (which were hard to find) because they really held their shape. Wonderful plate presentation! Again, comfort food at it's best!
