Frank and Kraut Stew

Stew is a traditional way of stretching a small amount of inexpensive beef to feed more people. With the price of beef going up and up this recipe is an even more frugal take on stew.

2 tablespoon margarine or butter

1 16-oz. can sauerkraut, undrained and snipped

1 16-oz. can tomatoes, cut up
