Sauerkraut with Country-Style Ribs
550
This recipe is my glorified version of a Polish "kapusta," made hearty with the addition of country-style pork ribs, mushroooms and bacon. Traditionally, it is served with "kluski (potato dumplings)" or egg noodles and rye bread.

Directions
Combine cabbage, sauerkraut, 2 teaspoon reserved sauerkraut juice, onion, salt, pepper and sugar in slow cooker crock. Layer in the ribs over the mixture. Pour the beer over the ribs just before turning on cooker. Cover and cook on LOW 8 to 10 hours (meat should be very tender).
