I love this recipe and had lost it. Thank you so much for posting it. For those who have never tried it, you don't really taste the kraut but it is esential to this recipe. Thanks again for posting.

I'd looked for this crazy recipe for a long time. Thanks for making it available. This stuff is a real crowd pleaser.

I made this for a main dish (to use up some leftover sauerkraut) and served it over rice. The combination of flavors was certainly unusual, but good. My daughter did the cooking after I told her what to do over the phone. The only change she made was to use seasoned bread crumbs instead of plain because she didn't know the difference.
