I know there is an Irish dish named Colcannon that is mashed potatoes and cabbage...

I make a type of "soup/stew" with Keilbasa, and potatoes and cabbage...and a touch of vinegar...yum.

Here is my best Pork and Sauerkraut recipe:

CROCKPOT SAUERKRAUT AND DUMPLINGS

1 small pork roast, fat trimmed and quartered, or meaty pork short ribs

3 to 4 cans of Bush's Bavarian Sauerkraut (my personal favorite)

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 Golden Delicious apple, chopped

1 small potato, chopped

Bisquick Biscuit mix for dumplings

Toasted bread crumbs

Add first 5 ingredients to crockpot (no need to brown meat first) and cook on HIGH for about 6 hours. Check after a couple of hours and add a very small amount of water if needed, and stir well. Stir well again about half-way through cooking time.

When sauerkraut is done, follow package directions for dumplings and drop by large spoonfuls into bubbling pork and sauerkraut and cover for time suggested on package. Toast bread crumbs, stirring constantly over medium-low heat in a tablepoon of butter or margarine in small skillet.

Serve pork and sauerkraut with fluffy dumplings on the side and sprinkle golden toasted bread crumbs over dumplings. Serve with cold applesauce or Waldorf salad. It doesn't get any better than this!
