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.
