Faith! We loved it! DH tossed this together...before work....and became my Hero that evening!! DH added some peeled baby potatoes which cooked up very well with the sauerkraut and spices! Thank you for posting!

This dish was perfect for this cold and rainy day. The brown sugar gave just the right amount of sweetness to th sauerkraut. I served this with Ciabatta bread and the meal was complete. Thanks for sharing this quick and easy dish, faith58.

Good comfort food! I made half of the recipe and as soon as the basil was added the aroma was even more wonderful! Didnt add the caraway seeds and used 4 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar. For us the sauerkraut was a bit to sweet so next time I will either add another can of sauerkraut or use less brown sugar. I served with mashed potatoes and enjoyed for supper tonight! Thank you Jan!!

Excellent, even without the caraway seeds. I love the way the brown sugar and basil mellowed out the flavor of the sauerkraut. Prep is very easy NOTE: if you alot of leftovers, try melting some swiss cheese over the top of it for a change of pace. DH loved it with slices of 2% Kraft Swiss Cheese slices over it.
