Ingredients
- 2 cups sauerkraut

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by draining the sauerkraut to remove excess liquid. Squeeze gently to remove as much moisture as possible, then set it aside.
Step 2
Finely dice half a medium yellow onion and set it aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until it softens and turns translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the drained sauerkraut, mixing well to combine with the onions.
Step 6
Add the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, caraway seeds, and black pepper. Stir everything together to ensure the sauerkraut is evenly coated.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld together.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Spoon the sauerkraut topping onto your hot dogs and enjoy!
