Stuffed Kielbasa

surus's Note:

Another comfort food recipe using three favorites, kielbasa, garlic mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. I used a 4 oz. pkg. of potatoes and it was plenty. I also think I would use cheddar next time as the mozzarella vanished. Found this on Allrecipes website.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 16 ounces kielbasa
• 1 (7 5/8 ounce) package garlic flavored mashed potatoes
• 1 1/2 cups sauerkraut
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175 C) Bring a large pot of water to a boil and simmer kielbasa for@ 8 minute to reduce fat.
2. Prepare mashed potatoes according to pkg.
3. Cut kielbasa in 4 equal portions and split each lengthwise almost all the way through so they lie flat.
4. Layer each kielbasa with sauerkraut, then potatoes, then cheese.
5. Bake in preheated oven 10-12 minute until heated through and cheese is melted.

I've been looking for a recipe to use my jar of sauerkraut in the pantry. (HINT: Squish all of the juice out of your sauerkraut by straining through a seive over a bowl-put a piece of waxed paper on the kraut and set a large heavy can or bottle on top for about 10 minutes to help squeeze.) I also used turkey sausage and lowfat Kraft italian shredded cheese. I served mine with baked beans (right from the can) and the taste was surprisingly delicious!

I haven't actually made this yet but it looks delicious. It will be made in the next few days.

Add bacon on top of cheese.
