  • 2 pounds sauerkraut, drained
  • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings
  • 2 onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups beef broth
  • 3 whole cloves

  • 4 juniper berries

Combine the sauerkraut, crispy bacon bits, and finely chopped onion in a slow cooker. Next, pour in the rich beef broth to cover the ingredients. To add depth of flavor, sprinkle a blend of aromatic spices over the mixture - including whole cloves, fragrant bay leaves, juniper berries with their distinctive flavor, caraway seeds for a nutty taste, salt to enhance the flavors, and sugar to balance it all out. Mix everything together thoroughly.
