Instructions: Mix beef and bread. Add onion, eggs, sauerkraut, salt and pepper, and mix well. Add enough water to reserved sauerkraut liquid to make 1/2 cup and mix in with rest of ingredients. For best results, handle as gently and as little as possible.

Put meat into a 9x5 inch loaf pan, smoothing top to flatten.

I like to liberally sprinkle the top with Paul Prudhommes Magic Brightening for beef before putting into oven. Paprika, or plain pepper would be good, too.

It makes the "crust" on top good! :)

Bake in 350 degree F. oven for 1.5 hours.

Let set for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.

ps dont be afraid to put in a bit of garlic, some tobasco, or whatever you think

might go good...but start subtle so you dont overwhelm the simple taste.

It doesnt matter if you hate sauerkraut, you can still like this! :)
