Grammy's Cooked Sauerkraut Recipe With Bacon & Onions Is Mouth-Watering Good Side Dishes
My mom's mom (aka Grandma) was the wonderful cook whose recipe box has produced pecan pie, easy-do fudge, prize-winning meatloaf and bread and butter pickles, to name just a few. The only dish I fondly remember from my dad's mom (aka Grammy) was a hot sauerkraut recipe she made with bacon and onions. I absolutely loved it.
Never having a written recipe from her, I had to recreate this sauerkraut myself. And I've got to say, my version tasted just like what I remember from my childhood. This easy sauerkraut recipe is tangy, creamy, salty and super tasty. I served this easy side dish recipe with Hähnchenkeulen (crispy German baked chicken), but it goes with beef, pork or chicken.

Here's how to make it:

Note: My Grammy sometimes sprinkled caraway seeds on top, but I prefer it without them.
