Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 16 ounces sauerkraut
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mustard (Dijon or whole grain)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a light coating of butter or non-stick spray.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the kielbasa and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Drain the sauerkraut and add it to the skillet along with the smoked paprika, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for an additional 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and mustard until smooth. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Layer the casserole dish as follows: spread half of the potatoes across the bottom in an even layer, followed by half of the sauerkraut mixture, half of the kielbasa slices, and half of the sour cream mixture. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, finishing with the sour cream layer.
Top the casserole with 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Uber Braten Kielbasa Sauerkraut Casserole!
