Keto Bacon Sauteed Sauerkraut

6 ratings

You either love or hate sauerkraut, but did you know this is actually a great dish for keto dieters in need of sodium? After cutting out a lot of carbs and processed foods, it’s very easy to fall into a sodium deficiency. This quick side dish has sodium from the bacon and fermented sauerkraut, and a splash of apple cider vinegar completes this keto fix!

Recipe Steps

  • Step 1

    Chop the bacon into small pieces and toss them into a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Let the bacon cook until it just become crispy. Leave the heat on the lower end to help draw out all the fat.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    In a large mixing bowl, toss the sauerkraut together with the remaining ingredients. It’s okay if some of the water from the packed sauerkraut is in the mix, but leave most of it out. Add this mixture to the hot skillet.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Turn the heat up to medium-high or high and cook until the sauerkraut is heated through and mixed with the bacon. You can cook 5-7 minutes longer for more tender and flavorful sauerkraut.

    Do you drain the bacon before adding the sauerkraut?

        A can of diced tomatoes and cumin seeds instead of celery seed and no need for vinegar, as the sauerkraut is already pickled! I buy it mixed with carrots. Fry the bacon, and a little cooking oil, add the sauerkraut/carrot mix with all the vinegar or wine from the jar and keep on the stove until the liquid boils. Then put in the oven at 400F covered with aluminum foil for 1-1/2 hrs, and remove the foil for another 1/2 hr. Total 2 hrs in the oven. If you don't like cumin seeds, you may substitute bay leaves.

          The bacon et. al. didn’t add to the flavor of plain sauerkraut. Maybe extra bacon would notch up the flavor a bit.

            I enjoyed it for something different. I added a few splashes of Bragg's Amino Acid to it which gave it a richer flavor.

              Way too much paprika. Love bacon, love sauerkraut, did not love this.
