  mixture to crockpot, then add mixed meats and
  remaining sauerkraut, sprinkling with pepper as you

  horseradish, if you wish.
  
  Sylvia's comments: cook on HIGH?  In a crockpot?  Then
  what's the point? I cooked it all day on LOW and
  everything was falling apart. I have a similar recipe
  that includes apples and brown sugar that I like
  better; this is great for someone who favors bitter
  tastes, I served it with applesauce which cut the
  bitterness well and the result was delicious.
