"A classic German dish. THIS TAKES TWO DAYS. Don't skip the gingersnaps, they make the recipe! I use the Nabisco gingersnaps that come in a box (the hard kind)."

We loved the flavors...the gravy was so tasty...I followed the recipe as posted...although the meat didn't get tender like my other sauerbratens did...I'm not sure if it was because the meat didn't simmer/cook as long as it should have...but it did have the traditional sauerbraten flavors...made for "Only the Lonely"" tag game...
