Steps:

• 1. Cut sausages into individual serving pieces.
• 2. In a skillet, brown sausages.
• 3. In crock pot, place onion, sauerkraut, apples and potatoes.
• 4. Top with sausage.
• 5. Pour apple juice over sausage.

• 7. Cover and cook 6 hours on LOW, until potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• In a 5-6 quart heavy Dutch oven, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Brown sausages or ribs.
• While they are browning, drain and rinse kraut at least twice to remove the excess salt.
• Chop onion.
• When sausages/ribs are browned, place them aside on Dutch oven lid.
• FILL POT: Handful of kraut, add wieners, fil in with onions, add more kraut, add sausages, fill with remaining onion, and add last of kraut, all in layers.
• Add contents of beer and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. The alcohol cooks away so don't worry, it does add a great deal to this recipe.
• Add applesauce.
• Add water to surface of kraut.
• Liberally apply black pepper.
• Add potatoes.
• Bring to boil, cover tightly and simmer 3-4 hours (don't shorten the time, this is critical), checking periodically so it doesn't dry out.
• Serve with sour cream or plain yogurt and a high quality mustard. I prefer Country Dijon or German, my DH prefers yellow. Either way, enjoy, my friends!
