How to Make Bbq Sauerkraut

  1. Cook bacon: In a medium skillet, cook 4 slices of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. Sauté onion: Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet with bacon grease and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Combine ingredients: In a 2-quart baking dish, combine 1 (26 ounce) bag of sauerkraut, drained, 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, the cooked bacon (crumbled), and the sautéed onion.
  4. Bake: Bake uncovered in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 2 hours, or until the sauerkraut is caramelized around the edges and heated through.
  5. Serve: Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite grilled meats, pulled pork, or sausages.
