How to Make Barbecue Sauerkraut Bake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and a dash of Tabasco sauce (or to taste). Simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Stir in 2 cups shredded cooked meat (pulled pork, chicken, or beef). Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Rinse 1 (26-ounce) bag of sauerkraut thoroughly in a colander under cold running water. Drain well.
6. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Pour the meat and barbecue sauce mixture into the dish. Spread the drained sauerkraut evenly over the meat.
7. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
8. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the sauerkraut. Lightly spray with olive oil or cooking spray.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
