To make the sauerkraut topping, simply combine the sauerkraut, vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauerkraut is heated through.

Serve the sauerkraut topping on hot dogs, bratwurst, or sausages. You can also use it as a condiment for sandwiches, burgers, or tacos.

For a spicier sauerkraut topping, add more red pepper flakes to taste.

If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the red pepper flakes.
