Sloppy Ottos (German Version of Sloppy Joes)
"Because of my German heritage, I try to use the month of October to cook more German-inspired foods. When my sons were younger, they loved sauerkraut and any dish that contained it. This was a favorite of theirs and I liked that it was a one skillet, easy and tasty sandwich. I served it with German potato salad. Yum!!"

I made this for dinner tonight for myself, my son & father. All enjoyed but I wish it would have had a tad more seasoning. VERY easy to make and I enjoyed the sour cream w/ the sauerkraut. Thanks for sharing! -
This was AWESOME. So easy and simple. I didn't drain the sauerkraut, so I simmered it a little while to let it reduce. I ate it out of a bowl (I don't do bread) and my husband, oddly enough, ended up dipping Doritos in it. (I don't ask how he comes up with these things). But he loved it, too. Next time I'm making a bigger batch!

Great tasting simple recipe! Will be making on a regular basis. -
Wow! I wasn't sure how these were going to turn out, but gave them a shot. Yum! They are great! Followed the recipe exactly, using 1 cup of well drained sauerkraut. Wonderful! Will definitely be making these again! -
This was really good! I served this along side mashed potatoes and it was hot, inexpensive and filling. My whole family enjoyed this and my children are not big saurkraut fans. Will be making this again.

Greetings! I live in western Wisconsin with my wonderful husband, 2 dogs, 3 cats, 4 horses, 1 mule and an Amazon parrot. My husband is a Certified Natural Hoof Care Practitioner and Field Instructor which keeps him very, very busy. I am a nurse and have been working in an elementary school since 1989. We have two grown sons. Our older son is an Air Force Academy graduate and pilot (engaged to be married in October 2006) and our younger son is working on a degree in Marketing.
My husband and I love to travel and camp in our 5th wheel trailer or spend time at our cabin in northern Minnesota.
I love spending time with my family and friends. I am an avid reader, belong to a local book club, and I never go anywhere without a book.
In my free time, I enjoy going to movies, traveling and shopping with my girlfriends, collecting and displaying my Department 56 Snow Village pieces, adding to my Wizard of Oz collection, taking cooking classes, collecting cookbooks, playing cards and board games and at present, I am a member of three 500 card clubs.
However, my real passion is cooking!!
