Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds sauerkraut - rinsed and drained
5 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
2 ¼ cups water
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon (1 stick) margarine, melted
2 ¼ cups instant mashed potato flakes
2 eggs
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pour the sauerkraut into a slow cooker with one can of the chicken broth and the caraway seeds. Cover, and cook on Low for 2 hours.
  • Pour the remaining cans of chicken broth into a large pot, and bring to a rapid boil.
  • In another saucepan, bring water, milk and margarine to a boil. Mix in instant potato flaked until well blended, remove from heat, and stir in the eggs, baking powder, and enough flour so that the dough is firm but not sticky.
  • Pour the remaining cans of chicken broth into a large pot, and bring to a rapid boil. Pinch off pieces of the potato dough, and roll them into long thin dumplings (like pigtails). Drop the tails into the boiling chicken broth, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Strain the dumplings from the broth, and add them to the sauerkraut in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.

This recipe is definitely a winner! The sauerkraut is tangy and flavorful, and the pigtails are fall-apart tender. I'll be making this again and again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauerkraut turned out mushy. The pigtails were good, though.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pigtails. I added some extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery, to make it a more complete meal.

The sauerkraut was a bit too sour for my taste, but the pigtails were cooked perfectly.

This recipe was easy to follow and the sauerkraut turned out great. I used a store-bought sauerkraut, but I'm sure it would be even better with homemade sauerkraut.

I'm not a huge fan of sauerkraut, but this recipe changed my mind. The pigtails add a richness and depth of flavor that I really enjoyed. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The sauerkraut is always perfectly tangy and the pigtails are fall-off-the-bone tender. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze.
