Kraut-Stuffed Goose - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 goose (6 to 8 lb.)
1/4 lb. bacon
2 c. chopped onion
2 lb. canned sauerkraut
2 c. chopped apples
1 c. chopped potatoes
salt and pepper
1 tsp. sage

Preparation

Drain the sauerkraut.
Fry bacon pieces and remove them from the pan.
Saute the onion in bacon fat until tender.
Add the drained sauerkraut and cook for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl mix the sauerkraut, bacon pieces, onion, apples, potatoes, sage and seasoning.
Salt the goose inside and fill with sauerkraut mixture.
Place the goose on a rack, breast side up.
Roast at 325\u00b0 for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, basting with the drippings every half hour.
When done (tender to a probing fork), let the goose sit at least 15 minutes before carving.
Remove the dressing and serve it separately.
