Grandma’s Recipes: Sauerkraut Casserole

From the 1960s-1980s recipe box of a midwestern grandma.

Fun with fermented cabbage.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 onion

1 can tomato soup*

1/2 cup uncooked rice**

1 can/jar sauerkraut***

1 1/3 cups sauerkraut juice and water****

Directions:

Brown beef and onion, drain grease.

Add beef/onion to all other ingredients in casserole dish***** and mix well. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until rice is tender.

Notes:

*What size can of tomato soup?

**Any rice? Long grain, standard white? Brown? (Def not jasmine. Barf.)

***What size can/jar of sauerkraut???

****This one is funny: add leftover can/jar sauerkraut juice to water until you end up with exactly 1/333 cups. LOL

*****What size casserole dish? 13 x 9? 8×8? Can’t believe there aren’t more details on this index card! (We’re guessing 13 x 9, but who’s to say?)

Granddaughter asks: Wouldn’t rice plus sauerkraut be super weird, texturally?
