Slow Cooker Sausage and Sauerkraut

A few weeks ago I was left with a cup of sauerkraut.  Being a person that doesn’t like any food to go waste I was going crazy with what to do with it.  I could make chili cheese dogs. I could make German Pork Chops and Sauerkraut and then I thought of all the great family Polish recipes I ate as a kid.

As a kid, sauerkraut was often to be seen in the kitchen for Sunday dinner. Thinking of sauerkraut, next to meat and mashed potatoes, that’s how this Slow Cooker Sausage and Sauerkraut recipe was created.  

It’s funny how recipes that just came out of no where end up being your favorite.  This slow cooker dish was a huge hit with the kids and husband, so now it’s a family favorite. Looking for more crockpot sausage meals? Also try my: Slow Cooker Sausage and Cabbage, Slow Cooker Sausage and Barley Soup and Crockpot Sweet and Sour Kielbasa.

Ingredients

This is a simple recipe that doesn’t require many ingredients.

  • 1 cup sauerkraut
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 pound pork sausage cut up into 1-2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 onion sliced
  • 1/4 cup water

How to Make Slow Cooker Sausage and Sauerkraut

In  a bowl combine the sauerkraut and brown sugar. Place this into slow cooker.

Next arrange the sausage pieces and onion over the sauerkraut.

Pour water on top.

Cook on high for 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure there is still water.

Reduce to low and cook for 2 more hours.

Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles

What to serve with Sauerkraut and Sausage?

I served this on mashed potatoes which I would totally recommend for pure comfort food. If you aren’t in the mood for mashed potatoes (gasp!), you could also serve over rice or egg noodles.
