• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 lbs sauerkraut
• 2 lbs kielbasa
• 8 medium potatoes
• 2 onions, sliced
• 1 apple, peeled and chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup apple juice

directions

1. Empty jars or packaged sauerkraut into a colander and give a quick rinse. This step takes the strong bite out of the kraut. Cut each kielbasa link diagonally into 3-4 pieces. Peel and halve potatoes. Add all ingredients to a large stock pot and cover with water. Bring to boil over medium heat, turn down and simmer 1-2 hours. Drain and serve piping hot. Serve with horseradish and ketchup if desired.
2. Also an easy crockpot meal! Same method, cook 6-8 hours on low, 3-4 hours on high.
