Rinsing the sauerkraut helps to mellow its strong flavor. If you prefer a more intense flavor, skip the rinsing step. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauerkraut mixture. You can substitute other types of sausage for the bratwurst, such as kielbasa or Italian sausage. This casserole is delicious served with a side of mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
