Barbecued Sauerkraut

Brown the ground beef with the chopped onion in a skillet, breaking the meat into small crumbles.

Drain off excess fat and stir in the sauerkraut, tomato sauce, brown sugar, paprika, and pepper.

Spoon the mixture into a buttered baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Bake at 350°F until the sauce bubbles and the top edges darken, about 1 hour.

Let the casserole settle briefly before serving so the sweet tomato glaze clings to the kraut.
