Today I have another Sunday dinner menu!

Bratwurst and Sauerkraut

Ingredients:
4 tart apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 27 ounce can or bag of sauerkraut
1 1/2 to 2 pounds of bratwurst or polish sausage
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. caraway seed

If the sausage is in longer links, then cut it into bun sized pieces. Place all ingredients in the crockpot, stir, and cook on low for 4 or 5 hours, stirring a few times. Remove the sausage to one platter and the other ingredients to a bowl or platter with a slotted spoon serving. Serve with buns and hearty mustard.

Red Potatoes and Onion

Ingredients:
1 pound red potatoes
1 sweet onion, sliced thinly and halved
1 bunch scallions or green onion, chopped
Black pepper and salt to season

Boil the potatoes until just tender with the skins on. This can be done the night before or any time beforehand. Cool and refrigerate. When ready to cook, chop the potatoes into cubes. Add them to a large nonstick skillet with the onions. Stir to combine everything and add a small amount of water to the pan. Season with lots of pepper and some salt. Cook until the onions are softened and everything is browned. I sometimes cheat and drizzle a little olive oil in the pan as they cook.

German Style Potato Salad

Ingredients:
8 potatoes, peeled, chunked and boil til just tender
1 small apple, peeled and diced
1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons relish
1 tablespoon hearty spicy mustard
1/2 tsp. white vinegar
1/2 tsp. sugar
4 tablespoons Miracle Whip or other salad dressing
paprika, salt and pepper to season
4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced

Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and salad dressing in a large bowl. Add the other ingredients and mix with a large wooden spoon. Chill for several hours.

Apple Spice Cake

Ingredients:
1 spice cake mix
2 medium baking apples, peeled and diced
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces sour cream
1/4 cup lemon juice (Realemon is fine)
ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the cake mix as directed, but stir in the apples at the end. Pour batter into a buttered and floured (or sprayed) 13x9 baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes or when it tests done. While baking combine the condensed milk, sour cream and lemon juice. Remove the cake from the oven and spread the milk mixture over the top of the cake. Return to the oven and bake for ten minutes longer. Remove and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cool. Leftovers should be refrigerated.
