SAUERKRAUT PIE
I made this tonight and it is a great way to make kraut. I served it with a side of sweet corn. MMMM! It goes together quickly especially if you have frozen mashed potatoes or leftover mashed potatoes. I hope you enjoy it. If you like kraut you will!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot or dutch oven and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine sauerkraut, apple cider, bay leaves, chopped apples, and cumin seeds. Bring to a boil and let simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes until the apples. Season with salt and pepper.

- For the topping, heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them while stirring constantly until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Take them off the heat and let them cool, then toss them with the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Transfer the apple sauerkraut into a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, spread mashed potatoes on top, and sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes, followed by the breadcrumbs.
- Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and the breadcrumbs are crisp and browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

ALTDEUTSCHER SAUERKRAUT-KUCHEN (GERMAN SAUERKRAUT PIE)
A traditional German recipe that may be an acquired taste for some. This is similar to a quiche, but less eggy. If you can't find bacon you can dice, I think diced Canadian bacon or cooked dice ham would also be nice in this. TIP: If you use kitchen shears to chop up your sauerkraut before adding it to the recipe, it will be easier to cut the pie.

My family,mostly, likes Sauerkraut and even the ones who didn't liked this!It was easy and cheap and became a fast "go to" dish. Great because the kids could easily make it, if need be.
