Sausage and Kraut seemed to go well with today's chilly weather . Being part German, we ate a lot of dishes like this, growing up. Gram made something very similar, I just added my own touch to it. Love the smell of this stewing on the stove top. I serve it with yummy sour dough bread, to sop up the yummy juices. This dish is even better heated up the next day. I always make it ahead so it has time for the flavors to merry. Enjoy!
