Beer And Brown Sugar Kielbasa Sauerkraut Recipes

BEER & BROWN SUGAR POLISH SAUSAGE WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• 1. Combine the beer and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, until the sugar melts and the mixture is slightly thickened. Set aside. Cut the kielbasa into links and place in a slow cooker. Cover with the drained sauerkraut.
• 2. Pour the beer and brown sugar mixture over top. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or on low for 8 to 10 hours. (We ended up doing a combination - high for 3 hours and then low for another 3 or so. Definitely the longer it cooks the better it tastes!) Serve on its own or on your favorite sandwich roll.

EASY SKILLET KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT (WITH APPLE AND DOPPELBOCK OR CIDER)

Steps:

• STOVETOP ONLY METHOD1. Slice the kielbasa diagonally to create more surface area to sear. Heat a heavy bottomed skillet such as cast iron over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil and kielbasa and sear until it begins to brown. Remove and set aside. 2. In the same skillet saute the sliced onion and apple for about 3-5 minutes. Deglaze with a bit of the malty beer or hard cider and let most of the liquid simmer away. Add the sauerkraut, brown sugar, bay leaf, cloves, peppercorns, caraway and salt and mix everything well together. Add the rest of the beer or cider and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf and cloves before they leave a hint of bitterness. 3. Add the browned kielbasa back to the skillet, add the stock and mix well. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Serve. STOVETOP AND OVEN METHOD1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. (Make sure the skillet you are using is oven safe). 2. Perform steps from 1 and 2 above. Add the kielbasa and stock to the sauerkraut, mix everything and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 5-10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Serve.
