Savory Sausage and Sauerkraut Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 apple, diced
• cooking spray
• 0.5 pound bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1.5 pounds kielbasa sausage, cut into 1-inch thick slices

Instructions

1. Gather all the necessary ingredients for your sausage and sauerkraut.
2. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sauerkraut, caraway seeds, brown sugar, and apple. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon and onion until the bacon is almost crisp and the onion starts to brown, approximately 10 minutes. Stir this bacon mixture into the sauerkraut.
4. In the same skillet, brown the kielbasa sausage in the remaining bacon grease until it begins to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Then, stir the browned sausage into the sauerkraut mixture.
5. Transfer the sauerkraut and sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until the mixture is bubbling and heated through, approximately 1 hour.
