Grandpa's Sauerkraut and Kielbasa image

I grew up asking for sauerkraut instead of candy as a child, and my grandfather always made it for me. This is my version of what he would make.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced (four if you are a garlic lover)
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
ground black pepper, to taste
3 potatoes, peeled and diced (try to use a waxy potato like Yukon gold (russets will disintegrate in the baking process)
1 (16 ounce) bag sauerkraut, from the deli aisle (not canned please)
1 lb beef kielbasa, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (two if you're an insane sausage lover)

Steps:

Put the cold butter in a cold pan with the diced onion, and slowly bring to a simmer on medium heat.
This brings out the sweetness of the onions.
Simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add minced garlic and simmer 2 more minutes.
Add next 3 ingredients.
Combine with the sauerkraut (undrained and not rinsed), kielbasa and potatoes.
Bring to a simmer on the stove top.
Cover loosely with foil and place in a preheated 225°F oven for 3 hours.

THE ORIGINAL KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT

The Original Kielbasa and Sauerkraut image

This is a family recipe passed down from my grandfather and my father who still make every New Year's Day. It's the best. Trust me, you'll love this recipe. It's original and kinda simple. It's 'old school.' Serve with Jewish rye bread, butter, and horseradish. A good side is mashed potatoes with cheese, milk, and butter to create a rich, creamy, tasty mashed potatoes to go with the dish.

KIELBASA AND FRIED BUTTERED SAUERKRAUT

Kielbasa and fried buttered sauerkraut image

Add some cornbread and you have one easy weeknight meal. Kielbasa and sauerkraut are great together, but adding the butter makes this recipe extra special. Browning the butter and sauerkraut adds tons of flavor. Make sure to let it get browned ... that's where the flavor is.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 pkg kielbasa
1 can(s) sauerkraut, 28 oz.
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
3 Tbsp butter

Steps:

1. Use a large skillet. Put the butter in and melt it around the pan. When it starts to sizzle put in the whole can of sauerkraut.
2. While the sauerkraut is cooking, cut up the kielbasa into 1 inch slices. Put aside.
3. Stir the sauerkraut. Once it starts turning brown add the kielbasa.
4. Continue to stir, add the spices, and stir some more. The sauerkraut should be golden brown with some darkened areas. Let it cook and stir often (sauerkraut burns easily, so you have to watch it. You only want a little bit darkened)
5. Once everything is mixed and the sauerkraut is golden brown turn off the heat and let it sit until the burner is cool. (This will darken the sauerkraut further.) Serve and enjoy.
