Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz Sauerkraut
- 16 oz Smoked sausage (such as kielbasa or bratwurst), sliced into 2-inch pieces
- 12 oz Baby red potatoes, halved
- 1 Green apple, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 Yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Caraway seeds
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Drain and lightly rinse the sauerkraut to remove excess brine. Set aside.
In a slow cooker, layer the sliced smoked sausages, halved baby red potatoes, and sliced onion.
Add the sliced green apple on top of the onion layer.
Evenly distribute the drained sauerkraut over the top of the layered ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, caraway seeds, chicken broth, melted butter, salt, and pepper until combined.
Pour the mixture evenly over the contents of the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Before serving, stir the sauerkraut mixture gently to combine the layers.
Serve warm as a standalone dish, or pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
