My boyfriend said he didnt like sauerkraut and then he ate this. He said it was great and he could not believe the taste. It was great and I will be making it again! Thanks!

I have never been a big fan of sauerkraut, but my husband loves it. So, I decided to try this dish. I really enjoyed it, because the sauerkraut isn't overpowering. It's a good blend of flavors. My husband also loved it, because it does have sauerkraut in it :-)
