Take about 1/2 pound of bacon ends and pieces and fry them down in a good sized pot (don't overcook). Save the grease and drippings in the pot and add your favorite kraut.
If it's canned you won't have to cook it much, but if it's the fresh, bulk stuff from the butcher it'll have to simmer for at least 20 minutes. (avoid any kind of preservatives in the kraut, the bagged and glass jar stuff usually has it.
Add a 12 oz bottle of beer and simmer for 5 minutes (if it's the canned kraut). Add browned pork sausage links, or the good butcher franks, or knockwurst and simmer for another 5 minutes then turn the stove off and let sit for an additional 5 mins.
Best served with fresh mashed potatoes but a couple slices of wheat bread under a serving is fine. I like lots of juice to run all over the plate with it. Wash down with lots of suds.

Just listening to Bill describe that gives me chest pains. I love food like that, but since the heart attack a few years ago, if it tastes good, I can't eat it. I'm strictly on the "sticks, rocks, and leaves" diet these days. :cry:

I went on a diet last year after the doc told my my sugar, BP, and cholesterol were all up. I feel a lot better and I lost 25 LBS.

I'm on pills for all that (and exactly that). It's called "fat white guy's disease" and comes from living large. Lost about 20 lbs last year, can't say I feel much different. So far, the doc's been nice, but I've got an appointment next week and expect to catch hell.

That's a lot of cleavage.
I weigh 167 in the buff in the morning after of to dump.
My standard day:
Break: fried egg sandwich (using 1 slice of whole wheat bread cut in
half) with 5 oz OJ.
Lunch: If I don't skip lunch I have the 1 slice of bread again with
natural peanut butter and jam and 10 oz 1% milk.
Din Din: See above, (or) tonight I had about 12 oz of rib steak off the
grill (all the fat included) w a big oil & vinegar salad with
salami & Pecorino Romano cheese, a piece of French bread
and 1/2 btl California Sirah & 3 dates for dessert.
