ALTDEUTSCHER SAUERKRAUT-KUCHEN (GERMAN SAUERKRAUT PIE)
A traditional German recipe that may be an acquired taste for some. This is similar to a quiche, but less eggy. If you can't find bacon you can dice, I think diced Canadian bacon or cooked dice ham would also be nice in this. TIP: If you use kitchen shears to chop up your sauerkraut before adding it to the recipe, it will be easier to cut the pie.

SAUERKRAUT SHEPHERD'S PIE
Found this recipe in an old cookbook about 20 years ago. It had no name of contributor. It was called, simply, Old Sauerkraut Dish. My family,mostly, likes Sauerkraut and even the ones who didn't liked this!It was easy and cheap and became a fast "go to" dish. Great because the kids could easily make it, if need be.

Tips:
- Choose the right sauerkraut: Look for sauerkraut that is naturally fermented and has a tangy, sour flavor. Avoid sauerkraut that has been canned or contains preservatives.
- Rinse the sauerkraut: Before using, rinse the sauerkraut under cold water to remove any excess salt or brine.
- Squeeze out the moisture: After rinsing, squeeze out as much moisture from the sauerkraut as possible. This will help to prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy.
- Use a variety of meats: Sauerkraut pairs well with a variety of meats, such as pork, beef, and chicken. You can also use a combination of meats for a more flavorful pie.
- Add some vegetables: Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions can add flavor and texture to your sauerkraut pie. You can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes or apples, for a more unique flavor.
- Don't overcook the sauerkraut: Sauerkraut should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooking will make the sauerkraut lose its flavor and texture.
- Serve warm: Sauerkraut pie is best served warm. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave, or you can serve it cold.
Conclusion:
Sauerkraut pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its tangy, sour flavor and variety of meats and vegetables, sauerkraut pie is a hearty and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give sauerkraut pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
