Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb pkg. uszka with meat
1 lb kluski, silesian dumplings
3 lb polish sausage or smoked sausage
1 stick butter
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 large spanish onion, sliced
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 large orange, yellow, or red bell pepper, chopped
3 medium red delicious apples, sliced
2 lb sauerkraut, rinsed
1/2-2/3 c brown sugar, depending on your taste
1 1/2 c apple juice

Steps:

1. Melt butter in a very large skillet, (I USED MY ELECTRIC SKILLET TO FIT IT ALL IN ONE DISH) Add peppers, onions & apples to skillet and allow to brown slightly. Add drained sauerkraut.
2. Cut slits in polish sausage on the diagonal in about 3 inch intervals, add to skillet, then add brown sugar and apple juice,Cover with lid, and lower heat. Allow to simmer.
3. In the mean time add at least 4 quarts of water to a large pot, add 1 tsp salt, and bring to boil, when water comes to boil, add the uszka (meat Noodles) then return to a boil, and boil for 1 minute, they will rise to top, remove with slotted spoon, to a small container, then bring water back to boil, and add the Kluski Dumplings, and boil for 3 to 4 minutes then remove from water, then add both dumplings and noodles to skillet with polish sausage, cover with lid and allow to steam for a few minutes. Then serve on a large platter when sausages are all cooked & everything is hot.
4. This was a great recipe for us, I pride myself in making new and different food items, and weather I made it the traditional way or not, both my husband and I truly enjoyed it. I know I will be making it again real soon. If you have other suggestions for this item please let me know. I love new recipes.
