Sauerkraut N Smokies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Drain and rinse sauerkraut, pressing out liquid; set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, sauté apples and onion in margarine 3 to 4 minutes until apples are just tender.
• 2. When apple mixture is tender, add Kraut, and mix thoroughly. Add brown sugar and caraway seed. Stir until sugar is melted. Put sauerkraut into a 13x9 baking dish.
• 3. Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Remove from oven, allow to cool 5 minutes before serving. Note: Sometimes I add 8 oz. Swiss cheese slices on top, depending on whether I have it on hand or not. Also, on occasion, I use 1 cup of pear preserves instead of apples for variety.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the potatoes in oil for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in onion; saute for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add the sausage, sauerkraut and pepper. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
• Cut the smoked sausage into 6 pieces.
• In a 9" x 9" ungreased baking dish, layer in half the sauerkraut and then lay out the sausage on top of it. Cover with the remaining sauerkraut.
• Spread the diced onion over the sauerkraut, lay out the bacon slices across the casserole, and then sprinkle the brown sugar over it. Pour the water over the casserole which will make the sugar dissolve a bit. Cover with aluminum foil and bake on the middle rack for 90 minutes.
• At the end of the 90 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and, on the same rack, BROIL for 6 minutes. Serve hot along with mashed potatoes.
• Note: You won't have to add salt -- there's plenty of salt in the sauerkraut.

Steps:

• 1. Spray or line your slow-cooker. Add the sauerkraut and smokies, stir to mix well. Add the caraway and juniper berries and fold in. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 hours.
• 2. Boil potatoes and drain. Add potaotes, butter, evaporated milk, salt and pepper to a lg. mixing bowl and whip until fluffy.
• 3. I put a couple of scoops of potates into a soup dish and then ladle the sauerkraut mixture on top. Serve with warm,buttered,sour dough bread slices.
