Krapt and Sausage (Sauerkraut and Smoked Sausage)

Submitted by ATM 67

"My son was about a year and a half old, my dad was eating leftovers and he barely had enough to satisfy his hunger, and my son indicated that he wanted to eat some of what his granddaddy was eating. Being a good grandfather, he relented and gave into my son's wishes. Being older and FAR more treacherous than my toddler, Dad offered up a bite of the sauerkraut to my son, fully expecting my son to dislike the taste, and thereby saving more of the leftovers to satisfy my father's hunger. Boy, was he wrong! My son was still working on his language skills, and his new favorite food, kraut, was now called "KRAPT!" This is the recipe to the dish my father was eating that night."

I love sausage & Sauerkraut and this recipe taught me some thing special - When you cut up the sausage in small pieces the flavor intensifies throught the Kraut . I used a Portugese Linguica Sausage. I cut the recipe back to using one sausage and serving two people Thanks ATM for posting

I was looking for something quick but good to make the other night and ran across this. It was SIMPLY DELICIOUS!!!! I usually cook my sauerkraut with the juice but this way tasted way better by letting it simmer and cook down. Thanks for posting!!!!

This was easy, yummy and gobbled up. Used Bavarian smokies and added some dark sugar.

Yumm! I don't usually like sauerkraut but I liked this. I did wash the kraut so it was not so sour, and the dish was great. Thanks for posting.

This is delicious! Very simple, but yet very tasty, if you like sauerkraut that is, if you don't your probably not gonna like this recipe very much. I loved it!
