Nice easy lunch or dinner. My can of sauerkraut didn't have much liquid so I added a bit of water. I wasn't crazy about the celery seeds and will probably substitute caraway seeds next time I make this, as I like them better with sauerkraut. **UPDATE** I made this tonight with caraway seed instead of the celery seed and loved it. I will make it this way from now on.

I have made this recipe so many times and it is a favorite in my house. I was under the impression that I had rated it and I'm sorry it took so long. I reluctantly made it recently for my very particular son-in-law and he "made a pig of myself" to quote him. He has since ask my daughter to make it for him. I make this sometimes once a week and sometimes grill the brats instead of cooking in the pan, altho I prefer the pan method. Thanks so much for one of our favorite recipes of all times.

This was really quite delicious. I currently live in Germany, so I had access to really nice fresh bratwurst and sauerkraut. I did parboil my bratwursts since they were fresh, but if I were using grocery store bratwurst I wouldn't have felt the need - otherwise I followed the recipe to the letter. I thought everything worked out very well and this was a very easy, filling meal to put together. The flavors all blended together so well and the sauerkraut took on a sweet-n-sour taste. I used red onions, which looked gorgeous in the finished dish.
