I thought this recipe was very good, I also used garlic salt and garlic pepper and, seared the ribs and baked them for 1 hr at 400 and then 300 for 3 hrs it was so tender and the potatoes on the top ,I put the saurkraut on the bottom.this made them so tender and moist,I will make these again.
I've been making this recipe for years. Only I use garlic salt and pepper to season the ribs. Then I brown them and leave them at the bottom of the pan and put the sauerkraut on top. The garlic salt really adds some zip to the meat. I serve it with mashed potatoes and my husband is in heaven.
Das ist gut!! Just like Mama used to make.:) I used boneless country ribs and they came out nice and tender. I used garlic powder onion salt and pepper over the ribs before the first bake. I used a can of sauerkraut (forgot to check how much they called for here before fixing) but next time I'd use two cans it went quickly! I increased the cooking time to ensure the ribs would be tender.:) This is a keeper!
I doubled the time for the ribs and the kraut. The ribs were cooked ok but not falling off the bone tender. Agree with an earlier reviewer an hour for the ribs and three hours for everything combined. Also I added 1/4 of a chopped onion to the sauerkraut. It was too crunchy and prominent at the end. Pre-cooking is needed.
I TRIED THIS RECIPE AND EVEN TWEAKING IT IT CAME OUT BAD. IF YOU TRY THIS I WOULD SUGGEST INTERMINGLING THE SAUERKRAUT ALL OVER THE RIBS TO GIVE A BETTER TASTE AND ELIMINATE THE PEPPER AND SALT AND ADD GALIC AND ONION POWDER. WE HAD TO COOK OURS WAY LONGER AND IT CAME OUT TOUGH FAR FROM WHAT WE EXPECTED. NOT A WAY TO START OUT THE NEW YEAR.
Nice basic recipe. browned the ribs in the oven drained off the fat then put them in a slow cooker. To the kraut I drained only half the liquid shredded a small apple and medium potato. I tossed this together with a tablespoon of caraway seeds and placed this mixture in and around the ribs cooked them on low for six hrs. The end result was a falling off the bone flavorful meal. I served these with twice backed potatoes.
Its a good basic recipes that can take tweaking. I sprinkled the ribs with some ground sage as well as the salt and pepper. Also added a bay leaf to the sauerkraut. I also baked the ribs at 350 for 1 hour before adding the vegetables and then left it at that temp for another hour. The ribs literally fell off the bones! My husband just loved it and it's now a part of our permanent recipe collection.
Most excellent! I've made this recipe twice in the past two weeks...once with bone-in and once with boneless ribs and it turned out fabulous on each occasion. I also used "plain" sauerkraut once and kraut with caraway seeds once...each magnificent! One caveat: if you read the recipe and follow the part about 30 mins at 350 degrees....trichinosis is likely to ensue and the potatoes will be as hard as quantum mechanics. A solid hour in the oven at a minimum and the tenderness of the ribs will bring tears to your eyes.
I LOVE country ribs and sauerkraut!!! I always come to this site to double check to seeif what I'm thinking of making is here. I have made this on my own without a recipe. I thought I'd just check to see if maybe there were some other ideas. I always brown my ribs in a frying pan 1st. Don't need to add oil. The ribs have MORE than enough grease to cook with. That grease gets tossed out. I season with salt (not much as the sauerkraut has plenty) pepper granulated garlic and Johnnys Seasoning. I then place the ribs in my crock pot with the sauerkraut. Put the lid on place the crock pot on high and go about my way. About an hour before we eat I make mashed potatoes. MY personal little trick with my mashed potatoes is instead of using milk with a little bit of butter with pepper is to use a little bit of canned milk. To my family and myself it makes the mashed potatoes not quite so thin. Then we can make a little well in the center of the potatoes and put sauerkraut and juice over the top. This is my little kingdom of heaven. Thank you for putting this recipe up!!! It's wonderful.
