4 can(s) sauerkraut (14.5 oz each)
1 c light brown sugar (or to your taste)
16 oz dr pepper soda (or enough to almost cover kraut)

5 clove garlic, minced
42 oz smoked sausage, (family pac size)
2 tsp caraway seeds (optional) if desired

  • 3. Open sauerkraut and add to a large colander, and rinse, then add to skillet, add caraway seeds if desired.
  • 4. Remove sausage from package and make diagonal cuts into sausages with sharp knife. Add the brown sugar to sauerkraut.
