Sauerkraut And Smokies Recipes

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.

SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Place the sauerkraut, caraway seeds, brown sugar, and apple into a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place the bacon and onion into a skillet over medium heat, and cook until the bacon is almost crisp and the onion is beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir the bacon mixture into the sauerkraut. In the same skillet, brown the kielbasa sausage in the remaining bacon grease until the sausage begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes; stir into the sauerkraut mixture. Spoon the sauerkraut and sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 1 hour.

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 SAUERKRAUT SOUP

Steps:

• In a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker, combine the potatoes, carrots and onion. Combine the sauerkraut, brown sugar, mustard and caraway seeds; spoon over vegetables. Top with sausage and broth. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until vegetables are tender.

PIGS-IN-A-BLANKET WITH SAUERKRAUT AND MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two 13x18-inch baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Prep the ingredients for the filling and set aside.
• If using a 17-ounce puff pastry package, roll each sheet to a 9x12-inch rectangle. Cut each piece lengthwise into eight 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into two pieces, about 4 1/2 inches long. You should have 32 pieces of pastry.
• Spread the center of each piece of pastry with 1/2 teaspoon mustard and top with 1/2 teaspoon sauerkraut. Brush one narrow end of the pastry with egg wash, add one piece of sausage, and roll to enclose. Return to parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush the top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with caraway seeds, seam-side down. Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 23 to 27 minutes.
