Henry's Sauerkraut



This recipe is from my friend Nadine. Her husband makes this sauerkraut and we tried it at Christmas with perogies. It was delicious. Probably the bacon!

Ingredients 

1 Jar of Sauerkraut (drained)
2 medium Onions, chopped
8 or more slices of bacon (chopped)
1/2 tbs of brown sugar

Directions

Henry says:  Don't skimp on the onions. Don't skimp on the bacon.
Fry the bacon slowly in the pot.
Remove the bacon and save.
Fry the onions in the pot, in the bacon grease. Use low-medium heat to caramelize them.
You can put some water in half way through to keep them moist and avoid burning.
Put the sauerkraut, and bacon into the pot. Add the pinch of sugar. Stir well.
Cover and put in the oven to keep warm Add some water if it gets a bit dry.
