This recipe was casually mentioned by my friend Judy. It's her mom's recipe and it was fantastic. But, I don't know if it would be proper for me to give out her mom's recipe here. So, I'm keeping it a secret and that's too bad for you.

I prepared this in my crock pot last night and put it in the garage. This morning, I brought it in and started it up. It cooked for twelve hours! Alex and Nick got home at 3:00 and Alex called me at work. "Dad, dinner smells awesome! What is it?" It turns out that Alex is a sauerkrautaholic. The kid would eat sauerkraut ten times a week if I'd make it for him. He must have some sort of pickled cabbage deficiency. I told him what was for dinner and he asked if he could eat it right then. I told him he had to wait for me. I was worried he'd eat the whole thing. He did eat three servings. (I had two.) It was great.

I have to admit I thought about this all day - bubbling along happily in my crock pot. I bet I told seven or eight people about it. Scot thought it sounded so good he almost stood up his family for dinner.
