A sauerkraut spill

Tweet

Yep, that's what happened yesterday. We were making hot dogs for dinner and opened up a big bag of sauerkraut. I cut the package only halfway. Wanted to move the sauerkraut to a glass jar but hubby wanted to keep it in the bag. I stood it up against a wide bowl until the beef franks were done and we were ready to assemble the hot dogs. At first everything was fine but then the package tipped over and the sauerkraut liquid started leaking out. Went on the counter and all over the kitchen floor that I had just washed. Good thing I was nearby and saw that and was able to lift the bag up to prevent further spillage. At least the sauerkraut didn't fall onto the floor. There was a little bit on the kitchen counter though. I put the sauerkraut into a bowl as it started leaking from the bottom when I picked it up and then transferred it into a glass jar. Should have done that right after I opened it. I am not a huge fan of sauerkraut (I prefer Russian sour cabbage) but the hot dog tasted pretty good with it. I put shredded Italian cheese blend on the bottom of the hot dog bun, then the beef frank. On top of that I smothered some dijon mustard and ketchup, and loaded that up with sauerkraut. Will do the same thing for tonight's dinner. I think I may add some crispy fried onions. Forgot to do that yesterday.
