Sauerkraut And Smokies Recipes

SAUERKRAUT N' SMOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Drain and rinse sauerkraut, pressing out liquid; set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, sauté apples and onion in margarine 3 to 4 minutes until apples are just tender.
• 2. When apple mixture is tender, add Kraut, and mix thoroughly. Add brown sugar and caraway seed. Stir until sugar is melted. Put sauerkraut into a 13x9 baking dish.
• 3. Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Remove from oven, allow to cool 5 minutes before serving. Note: Sometimes I add 8 oz. Swiss cheese slices on top, depending on whether I have it on hand or not. Also, on occasion, I use 1 cup of pear preserves instead of apples for variety.

SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the potatoes in oil for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in onion; saute for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add the sausage, sauerkraut and pepper. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

KRAPT AND SAUSAGE (SAUERKRAUT AND SMOKED SAUSAGE)

Steps:

• Slice Sausage lengthwise and then cut the pieces into half moons as thick or as thin as you would like. Thinner slices create a meatier presentation and thicker slices create a meatier bite.
• In a large skillet or a medium pot heat oil and sauté onion and garlic until onion is translucent.
• Add sausage and almost sear it.
• Add drained kraut, stir and heat throughout.

SMOKED SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
• Cut the smoked sausage into 6 pieces.
• In a 9" x 9" ungreased baking dish, layer in half the sauerkraut and then lay out the sausage on top of it. Cover with the remaining sauerkraut.
• Spread the diced onion over the sauerkraut, lay out the bacon slices across the casserole, and then sprinkle the brown sugar over it. Pour the water over the casserole which will make the sugar dissolve a bit. Cover with aluminum foil and bake on the middle rack for 90 minutes.
• At the end of the 90 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and, on the same rack, BROIL for 6 minutes. Serve hot along with mashed potatoes.
• Note: You won't have to add salt -- there's plenty of salt in the sauerkraut.
