CROCKPOT SAUSAGE, SAUERKRAUT AND POTATOES

We love this meal and it is so simple in the crockpot.  Sauerkraut and potatoes just seem to go together.  Add some Polish sausage and you have a meal in a pot!  This is real comfort food and my family is all about comfort food.

2 (14 ounce) cans sauerkraut, undrained (or 1 (2 pound) bag)

5 or 6 potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks

1 cup water

1 pound Polish sausage, cut into chunks (could use smoked sausage)

1 teaspoon caraway seeds

1 bay leaf

1/4 teaspoon pepper

                                                     

Place sauerkraut and potatoes in slow cooker, add spices and water.  Place sausage on top.  Cook 4 hours on high or about 6 hours on low or until potatoes are done.  Makes 6 to 8 serving. Enjoy!

   Happy Halloween to you and your family, Judy! I love your two new Halloween pics on the top sides, esp that spider, so cute!
   This looks really yummy and I guess I’ll have to try this soon! My family loves potatoes so much and could eat it almost everyday! LOL ;P
   What can I use to replace the sauerkraut if I cannot find any here (Singapore)? Is caraway seeds similar cumin seeds and can I use that instead?

     Try using cabbage if you can get that. I guess you could use cumin seed. I have never tried it that way though. Happy Halloween to you and yours, too!

   Hi Judy, I Love this recipe, I have made something similar for years. I use Keilbasa, instead of the polish sausage, though either would be good. I also peel and dice 2 Apples, & add 1 T. of Brown Sugar, in place of the water, I use 1 Cup Apple Juice. Our Family Loves this..

    I would like to make this. But truthfully I don’t know where I would find Polish Sausage…I’ve see Keilbasa and prepackaged….is that what you use? Or is it in the meat department? Maybe its a regional thing why I cannot find it here. Suggestions? Brands, etc.?

      You can use smoked or Keilbasa or whatever kind of sausage you like in this recipe.
