  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                bag  sauerkraut (from deli or meat section) -- (32 oz)
     1/2           cup  packed brown sugar
  1              large  onion -- chopped
  1             pounds  Polish sausage -- (1 to 2)
  1           teaspoon  caraway seeds (optional)

Place sauerkraut in colander and rinse well with cold water. squeeze dry. Place in a large bowl.

Add brown sugar, onion, and seeds, if desired. Mix well until kraut is a delicate caramel color.

Place kraut mixture in a greased crockpot. Slice the sausage into large chunks and place on top of kraut. (I leave the hot dog whole.)

Cook on low for about 6-8 hours. If feasible, stir about half-way through cooking, but it will do just fine without stirring. Serve with mashed potatoes.

NOTES : This reheats well in the microwave, but really "stinks" up the kitchen. Not recommended for taking leftovers to work with you to reheat in the office microwave!!!! One of the secretaries at my school reheated her leftovers in the office and every kid that came in there for the next few hours gave out a loud "PHEWWWWW."
