Ingredients
- 2 lbs. sauerkraut
- 1 large onion
- 1 lb. ground beef ( I use 1/2 ground pork, 1/2 ground beef)
- 1/4 c raw long grain rice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 or 2 slices white bread (crusts removed), torn in very small pieces
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 tsp worcestershire
- sliced apples ( I add with the chopped onions in the layers)
Directions
-
Chop onions and add to sauerkraut ( and if using apples add them too) Put in big bowl.
-
In another bowl, mix ground beef, rice, spices, bread, and worcestershire, mix well, and make about 12 meatballs.
-
Layer half the sauerkraut mixture on the bottom of a medium sized saucepan.
-
Add meatballs and cover with the remaining sauerkraut mixture. Put lid on.
-
Cook about 40 minutes, or until meatballs are completely cooked. I do not open the lid while cooking.
