1 lg. can sauerkraut
1 lb. flanken (meat), cut into chunks
1 apple, peeled and diced
1 clove garlic, diced
1 lg. can crushed tomatoes
1 sm. can tomato sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
About 3 tbsp. sugar (or Sweet & Low) adjust to taste (depends on how sweet or sour you like things)
1/2 lemon

Put flanken in 6 quart pot. Cover with water. Boil, then simmer for 1/2 hour. Add apple, garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, sugar. Squeeze lemon into mixture, then throw lemon into mixture. Add water halfway up pot. Simmer (covered) about 1 hour. Add sauerkraut (with liquid). Add water up to about 1 inch from top of pot. Simmer (covered) about 1 hour.

Notes: Is best when made a day or two in advance of when needed. May be frozen and reheated. Gets better every day! Some people love it with a boiled potato.
