  • “This is an easy to make recipe, which rates high on my “comfort food” list. I added a few more hot dogs, and cut them into smaller pieces which distributed them more evenly throughout the dish. Next time, I’m going to substitute smoked bratwurst to jazz up the taste a little, but it’s fine as is. I also think adding a few finely diced kosher dills would kick it up a bit. These changes might not be as acceptable to kids as they are to adults, but it’s fun to experiment.”

  • “The simplicity of this was great! I neded a quick meal for when the kids came back from swimming and knowing that I would be tired too I sliced the weiners small and placed the whole mixture in the crock pot as we left.We returned to a cool home with a welcoming aroma and instant food!”

  • “I love this casserole! When my best friend visits (only about twice a year because of distance) we end up eating the entire thing by ourselves (guess it’s a good thing its only twice a year)! I make it with regular mustard, a whole can of saurkraut and polish sausage chopped fine. Mmmmmm!”

  • “Comfort food at its best! I enjoyed the addition of brown sugar and mustard, the sauerkraut had a nice mild flavor. Thanks Bergy, another great recipe!”
