Sauerkraut recipes are great to have in your recipe file. Often, in Germany, sauerkraut is flavored with juniper berries and served alongside of pork, smoked sausages, or kasseler.
That's why using ham in this dish is so great.
However, if you have any other type of smoked meat left over, use that instead.
For the cheese, I use whatever I happen to have in the fridge. Use that which melts nicely. If you enjoy it as an eating cheese, it will be fabulous in here as well. :)

It's even healthier eaten raw. Try it in a salad!
If you can find sauerkraut that is unpasteurized and uncooked, it will contain live lactobacilli and is rich in enzymes.
You may need to go to a health food store to find it, but it's fantastic in the sauerkraut salad shown below.
