I have been a sauerkraut convert ever since my trip to Walt Disney World in September of 2006. Mike and I ate at the German restaurant, Biergarten, in Epcot which served a variety of German food on their buffet. Since it was a buffet and I wasn’t required to clear my plate before having seconds, I decided to heed to Mike’s nudging and try just a little spoonful of sauerkraut with my bratwursts and it has never been the same since. My Polish grandparents and father have never been so proud that they have another sauerkraut convert in the family.
I found this almost perfect recipe in my crock pot cookbook and decided to give it a try. It was very flavorable and has quickly become a favorite of Mike and mine’s. Word of warning though: Like anything that includes cabbage or sauerkraut, this item will leave a rather strong odor in your kitchen before, during, and after cooking. It is well worth it though and you should just open a window or crank your A/C down and circulate your air 
It is very low calorie/low points so if you need something to add to your diet give this recipe a try.

A Sauerkraut Crockpot recipe…I must say I am a little skeptical, but it sounds interesting enough to give it a try.
