2 lbs. sauerkraut
1 med. onion
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
1 med. Granny Smith apple
10 slices thick bacon
1 can beef broth
1 tbsp. brown sugar
4 tbsp. bacon grease (opt.)

Cut bacon into small pieces and fry until crisp. Put sauerkraut and shredded cabbage into electric fry pan. Dice apple and onion and add to sauerkraut and cabbage. Bring to a simmer for 1 hour, adding water as it simmers. At this point, add the fried bacon, grease, brown sugar and broth. Simmer for 1 hour. Always add water right from the start and as you go along. This is important so that the kapusta won't stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. Also, be sure to stir the mixture during cooking.
