This is my version of a recipe gleaned from a pioneer cookbook. It's very tasty and hearty and its easy to expand.
SAURKRAUT CASSEROLE
1 Quart saurkraut (rinsed and drained)
1 cup raw rice
3 cups water
1 small onion chopped
1/2 cup butter
4 slices bacon diced
6 to 10 large sausages such as bratwurst, italian (mild or spicy), farmers, etc.
Put all the ingredients in a casserole with the sausage on top. Cover and bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
If you' d like to mellow the flavor a bit add one or two pared and chopped apples.
Serves 4 to 6.
