Keto Bacon Sauteed Sauerkraut
You either love or hate sauerkraut, but did you know this is actually a great dish for keto dieters in need of sodium? After cutting out a lot of carbs and processed foods, it’s very easy to fall into a sodium deficiency. This quick side dish has sodium from the bacon and fermented sauerkraut, and a splash of apple cider vinegar completes this keto fix!Jessica L.
How to Make It
Step 1
Chop the bacon into small pieces and toss them into a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Let the bacon cook until it just become crispy. Leave the heat on the lower end to help draw out all the fat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sauerkraut together with the remaining ingredients. It’s okay if some of the water from the packed sauerkraut is in the mix, but leave most of it out. Add this mixture to the hot skillet.
Step 3
Turn the heat up to medium-high or high and cook until the sauerkraut is heated through and mixed with the bacon. You can cook 5-7 minutes longer for more tender and flavorful sauerkraut.
