I've never cooked this dish before so I'm guessing at ingredients that would make a good all-day crock pot dish. Here's what I'm thinking:

Venison stew meat
Kraut
Onion
Garlic
Chicken stock
White wine
Paprika
Salt
Pepper
Thyme
Onion salt
Celery salt


Thinking of browning stew meat quick with onions and garlic, then transferring into crock with the rest of the ingredients, then cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Has anyone ever cooked this before and if so, what ingredients/method do you use?

Is it necessary to add a sweetener of some sort (maple syrup, apples, etc.)?

White wine vs. red wine?

Chicken stock vs. beef stock?

Thanks for any input.

i would cook it all then put the kraut in last and warm it up so the kraut wont get mush

Try this one
