My family really enjoyed this. I didn't use onion salt---I sauteed an onion in butter. I also used ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. This recipe is a keeper!!!

Loved this! I used about 1 1/2 pounds of sausage and doubled the sauerkraut. To cut down on the saltiness, I used dried minced onion instead of onion salt and a low sodium chicken broth. You really need to get the sauerkraut as dry as you can; I put mine in a dish towel and squeezed the heck out of it. The boys thought Swiss cheese might be a better flavor, so we will try that next time.

This was super.. except it was a bit too salty for my taste. I will make it again however I'll use 1/2 or 1/4 of the onion salt suggested. Used a nice smoked bockworst sausage from Denningers. Made enough for about 6 people. Thanks!
