This is a fair recipe. The taste was ok, but 7-9 hours is way too long for cooking in a crockpot. After 5 hours the meat was falling apart. Added the sugar and crushed cookies, etc., and it quickly turned to looking like SOS. eee gods! The sauce was too thick because the meat melted in the gravy and the onions made it lumpy. I will try this again using cut up chuck, less cooking time to keep the integrity of the meat and will use onion powder. And I will add half the cookie crumbs. I'll review again.

I have the same recipe from a Betty Crocker magazine and this is wonderful! Always a hit. I serve it with boxed spaetzle, usually with brussels sprouts on the side. Thanks for posting!

Unbelievable! I wasn't sure my son was going to like it, but he LOVES it! I will definitely be making this again! Tastes Very close to my Gramdma's sauerbraten (that I unfortunately don't have the recipe for) Thanks for a Great recipe and great memories!

Dear Carolinafan, I made this the other day for Dinner, and it was OUTSTANDING!!! This is a 10 +++. I do a lot of Crock Pot cooking, and this is the Best Recipe that I have ever come across for Sauerbraten, and it was so easy to put together. The aroma of it cooking was Wonderful. I felt like I was in the Amana Colonies having Sauerbraten at my favorite restaurant there. THANK YOU for posting such a DELICIOUS RECIPE!!
