This is actually a very light dinner, contrary to the popular opinion that sauerkraut with sausages is a fall or winter dish for hearty appetites. The tangy kraut is a very nice change of pace. Plus this is a great recipe to keep in mind when there is not a lot of fresh meat at the market. Which happened this week, when we completed our grocery shopping...
You may use any form of sauerkraut you wish. Sauerkraut can be found in jars or cans on the grocery shelves. As well as in some dairy cases wrapped up in sealed plastic bags. We used our homemade sauerkraut for this dish. Honestly, we can't wait to make Sauerkraut and Kielbasa again, but first, we will need to make more 'kraut!
The preparation is simple, and as with all slow cooker meals, there will be plenty of time for relaxing or getting other chores completed, the choice is yours. Serve with dark bread or boiled red potatoes and butter, then just call the family to the table and enjoy!
