Twin Sauerbraten Loaves

Add crumbs to 1 cup water and let stand a few minutes.

Add meat and next 4 ingredients and mix well.

Shape into two loaves and brown on both sides in margarine in a skillet.

Combine 1 cup water and remaining ingredients, except flour, and add to loaves in the skillet.

Bring to a boil, cover and simmer, basting several times and turning once, about 1 hour.

Remove the loaves, skim fat from liquid and thicken with flour mixed with a little cold water. Simmer a few minutes, add a little more water, if necessary, strain and serve over sliced meat.

Serve with potato pancakes.
