Flavorful
Description

Sauerkraut recipes are not usually on my to-do list, but after experimenting with this Beer and Bacon Sauerkraut recipe, it may have to be something I am making far more often! It is a great condiment to have in the fridge.

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds refrigerated sauerkraut
  • 1 cup sweet onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 thick cut strips bacon sliced thin
  • 4 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 12 ounce pilsner beer
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Directions
  1. Drain sauerkraut, rinse with cold water and then then squeeze any excess water out. Set aside.
  2. In a medium sauce pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat, adding onions and bacon. Cook, stirring frequently for 4-5 minutes, or until bacon starts to cook. Add garlic, sautéing 1 minute.
  3. Add remaining ingredients, stirring well.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.
