Kielbasa and Kraut

This Kielbasa and Kraut is one of the many recipes we make using kielbasa and sauerkraut. The potatoes and the pork chop make it a very filling dish. Add some buttered rye bread, and it is enough to feed an army. If you do not have the time to prepare the fresh kielbasa, you could certainly use a smoked kielbasa that is already cooked for you.  Another option would be to cook the kielbasa the night before. If you have that ready, the meal comes together in under 30 minutes.

  1. My grandfather used to make something similar to this and I just loved it. I make it every now and then.. It’s been a while, time to make it again!

  2. I love how easy this is to make. It’s essentially a one-pot meal. Also, I’m a huge fan of sauerkraut, so I’m going to have to give the one you recommend a try.

  3. My husband is German and loves sauerkraut and sausages! This look spot on! I have to say those meals are hard to make appealing on photo but your looks so yummy! Great recipe!
