How to make it
- In a large, heavy pot melt the butter over medium high heat and add the chopped onions just as the butter stops foaming. Add in the salt. Fry until the onions have taken on a good amount of color (5 minutes). Add the garlic and the sauerkraut, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes on medium high heat.
- Crumble in the ground beef and fry, stirring often. Add in about three quarters of the bacon crumbles, reserving the rest for garnish. Add the beef base and stir in to the browning beef.
- When the beef has taken on a bit of color, or the red is gone, add in the pickles, pickle juice, Pickapeppa sauce, diced tomatoes and the beef stock. Bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat and put on the lid. Simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Just before serving, add the grated cheeses, stirring well. If you want, add heavy cream and allow to come back to a bare simmer.
- Garnish with crumbled bacon, chopped pickle, chopped onion or scallions. Serve with soft, garlic bread sticks and maybe a green salad.
