For a richer flavor, use homemade beef broth. Adjust the sugar and salt to your preference, balancing the tangy flavor of the sauerkraut. This sauerkraut is excellent served with grilled sausages, roasted pork, or alongside mashed potatoes. For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon drippings with olive oil or butter.
