 An Alsatian sauerkraut and meat dish

 Polish sausage may be substituted for Italian sausage.

 Cover bacon strips with boiling water; set aside  Cut
 pork into 1" chunks. Slice knackwurst and Italian
 sausages in half. Combine pork, knackwurst, and

 cold water and squeeze dry.  Drain bacon and pat dry.
 Chop bacon. Mix into sauerkraut and add crushed

 horseradish, if you wish.

 Sylvia's comments: cook on HIGH?  In a crockpot?  Then
 what's the point? I cooked it all day on LOW and
 everything was falling apart. I have a similar recipe
 that includes apples and brown sugar that I like
 better; this is great for someone who favors bitter
 tastes, I served it with applesauce which cut the
 bitterness well and the result was delicious.
