An easy sausage and sauerkraut meal, made with kielbasa, apples, sauerkraut, and seasonings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds smoked kielbasa, regular or low fat turkey kielbasa, cut into 3-inch lengths
  • 2 bags (16 ounces each) sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
  • 3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut crosswise into rings

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
  • 8 medium red potatoes, (about 3 lbs.), peeled and quartered

Preparation:

Place half of the kielbasa in a 5 to 7-quart slow cooker; top with sauerkraut, remaining sausage, apple slices, and onion rings. Pour the chicken broth over mixture and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or LOW for 7 to 9 hours, or until apples and onions are tender.

Place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook 20 minutes or until tender; drain.

Not what I expected, Member chgo2phx

The results of this recipe were very disappointing. As it is written, I would not make it again. I followed the directions to the letter and I ended up with mush. The kilbasa was way too cooked and the apples, onions, and sauerkraut was soupy. I have used this slow cooker numerous times and have had no problem with the temperature. My main questions are this: Do you use FRESH kilbasa Are you sure that you meant to require 4 hours at HIGH? I have spoken with friends and relatives who would know and they seemed to think that that is too high of a temp for too long time for sausage. Please advise. Thanks
