If you're looking to celebrate the land of Germany or just searching for something tasty and new to try for dinner, Sauerbraten is the answer in both cases! You might become biased towards this version of the traditional German dish because you simply dump all the savory and sweet seasonings on top of the tender, juicy beef roast in a slow cooker. The only extra step you'll take is thickening some of the yummy cooking juices over the stovetop so that you can drench it all over the cooked roast to ensure you get the sweet, tingly flavor in every single bite. With each taste, the deliciousness of Sauerbraten might convince you to pack your bag and explore all the flavors Germany has to offer!
Rouladen is a traditional German dish that wraps tangy mustard and sour pickles in slow-cooked, tender steak. Slicing into them, you can actually see a spiral of savory flavors that feels festive and fun! Rouladen's contrast of sourness and fattiness brings out the best of both worlds, and that doesn't even get into the luscious, meaty gravy that's coating everything. It's a prime example of a set-it-and-forget-it dish you just can't forget!

In the contest of side dishes, German Potato Salad wins first place! Its versatility and deliciousness can't be beat — you can serve it warm or cold, and it's always a treat for the taste buds. Hearty potatoes, crispy bacon, and crunchy onion come together with vinegar, mustard, and seasonings for a dish that is savory and irresistible. German Potato Salad is potato salad just like Grandma used to make! Bring this dish to your next function and you'll be the talk of the town.

Traditions are a central part of families. Sharing those traditions are important and that's why we wanted to share these German Kuchens. These "cakes" start with a flaky yeast crust, delicious apples, and a creamy custard that's topped with a cinnamon-sugar crumble. Then, it's all baked to bubbly, golden-brown perfection. German Kuchens are symbolic of a strong heritage of delicious food, worthy to cherish and pass along to everyone you know. We hope you love them as much as we do. Enjoy and keep spreading the love!

German Poppy Seed Cake sandwiches great flavor with an amazing crust! On the bottom and on top is a golden-brown, buttery, and crumbly streusel-like crust, which is just to die for on its own! But in the middle is a creamy, nutty poppy seed filling, with a hint of smooth, smoky, sugary rum! This is an unconventional dessert, but German Poppy Seed Cake absolutely makes a great impression!

For the German Pot Roast, it's all about the beef. Everything added to it works to elevate and accentuate the savory, beefy flavor of the delicious chuck roast. Beer infuses a light malty flavor, beef broth and mushrooms enhance the natural beefy flavor, tomatoes add a contrasting element of brightness that makes the beef stand out all the more. German Pot Roast is extremely tender... fall apart with a poke of the fork tender... and so welcoming. Germany certainly knows how to make pot roast in the best way!
