Thank You @weezer111 for this AMAZING Crockpot recipe 💗
This recipe is her 'Engagement Sauerbraten' - based on the meal she enjoyed at a family German restaurant the night her honey swept her off her feet 💝
The key to this recipe is the marinade. Don't skip this process! ENJOY!!!
Sauerbraten is a traditional German pot roast marinated for two days then slow cooked and served with a tangy sweet gravy
Sauerbraten is usually served with some kind of potatoes such as mashed or boiled, potato pancakes, potato dumplings or spaetzle or other egg noodles.
Pickled Red Cabbage, apple sauce and some nice soft rolls to soak up the gravy would complete the meal
NOTES: (Tweaks/recommendations from @weezer111 )
SERVE WITH POTATO PANCAKES W/ {APPLESAUCE AND SOUR CREAM}, AND RED CABBAGE.

Many, many thanks for this!
We used to have the best German restaurant here and went for every celebration. I always got this offering with red cabbage. I could have drowned in it!

@Chi-town girl and @weezer111 Thank You!
I can't wait to try making this.
We have an excellent restaurant nearby. The chef was from Austria. They made the best German food. Well, he has pretty much retired. So sadly there isn't much on the menu that is German food.
I miss his cooking.
Can't wait to make the Sauerbraten. Now to find the "good" sides of German Potato Salad and sauerkraut.

My grandma used to make red cabbage this way:
2 tbsp bacon grease
1 onion, sliced thin
6 cups (1/2 head) thinly-sliced red cabbage
1 spple, peeled and cut into bite-size cubes
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 3/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp cider vinegar
Cook onion and 1/2 tsp salt in bacon grease in big skillet until soft.
Stir in cabbage, apple, brown sugar, rosemary, 3/4 cup water, 1 1/4 tsp salt, butter, and pepper. Cover and cook until cabbage is softened, 5-8 minutes.
Stir in vinegar and cook uncovered until liquid is gone.

@deepwaterdotter - THANK YOU 🤗
You are such a kind and resourceful recipe poster!
I'm going to make your grandma's Red Cabbage recipe when I make the Engagement Sauerbraten.
The most time consuming aspect of this 'meal' is the potato pancakes. I make mine from scratch per my Mom's recipe - they are the BEST and worth the extra effort. For those that want an alternative, Trader Joe's sells ready to go frozen potato pancakes

@weezer111 - Trader Joe's has some interesting and unique frozen foods. The potato pancakes are one of their frozen staples
We also LOVE their frozen Mandarin Chicken and frozen Korean Scallion Pancakes
And I always look for the new limited edition seasonal frozen items.
