Hot Dog-Kraut Bake

Shriners Parade of Recipes Main Dish Edition, p. 111

1 1-lb. 11 oz. can sauerkraut, drained

2 apples, pared and diced

1 onion, sliced

6 tbsp. brown sugar

2 tbsp. vinegar

2 lb. small potatoes

2 lb. frankfurters

2 tbsp. prepared mustard

I used the fancy sauerkraut with the shredded carrots in it!

The apples were a nice addition! Maybe not so much the onions, though.

Combine sauerkraut, apples, onion, 1/ cup brown sugar and vinegar in 8-cup shallow greased baking dish; arrange potatoes around edge. Cover; bake at 350 degrees F for one hour and 30 minutes or until potatoes are done. Arrange frankfurters on sauerkraut; brush with mixture of mustard and remaining brown sugar. 

Mustard glaze: Not beautiful.

Bake for 10 minutes longer or until franks are glazed.

But what a pretty little dinner! Served with a brioche roll.

My Rating: 4/5 "Great old-world flavors made with accessible ingredients. My husband doesn't like sausage so I never get to make the sausage and kraut dishes I like, but this gave me a chance to make one with a sausage substitute he would enjoy. The onions didn't feel necessary, but I liked having the apples mixed in the kraut. The potatoes were absolutely wonderful. This makes a ton, though, so save it for when you have guests."
