- Arrange the sauerkraut over the meatballs, then sprinkle the caraway seeds over the saurkraut.
- In a bowl, combine the soup with the salad dressing (for an extra cheesy taste, I sometimes add in a few tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese to the soup mixture) then spread the soup mixture on top of the saurkraut in the baking dish.
- Cover with foil and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until meatballs are no longer pink.
- Uncover, sprinkle with Swiss cheese.
- Bake for another 10 minutes longer.
