German Braun Cole and Bratwurst

Rinse and devein leaves of kale and chop. Place kale in large pot, add half the onions and half the salt. Cover with water. Cook down for 1 to 1 1/2 hours over medium high heat or until water is mostly cooked off. Remove from heat.

In medium sized roasting pan, place bratwurst, kale mixture, remaining diced onions, 1 Tbsp. salt, pepper, bacon grease, and 1 cup water. Mix together. Make sure bratwurst stays covered.

Bake in oven at 350 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours with lid. Stir every 20 minutes, add extra water if needed. Mix in 2 large grated potatoes, cover and cook for an additional 20 minutes.

Consistency is like that of sauerkraut. Serve with boiled potatoes. Great for those cold winter days.
