Sausage & Sauerkraut Skillet Dinner
By Kate @ stolenmomentscooking.com/
For the Sausage & Sauerkraut Skillet Dinner, I cut the bitterness of the sauerkraut with some brown sugar, which also provided a nice caramelization of the sausage. It still tasted traditional, just with less of a bite.
Ingredients:
5 T. butter or margarine
1 small onion, finely diced
1 lb. smoked or Polish sausage, sliced
1/2 lb. carrots, peeled and sliced
1 15 oz. can sauerkraut, drained and rinsed (Barvarian sauerkraut is less bitter)
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 t. black pepper
1/4 t. salt
Directions:
1. Melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet.
Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Then add the sausage and carrots and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients and cook for 5 minutes.
Serve immediately or cover and simmer over low heat until dinner time.
My original intention with this dinner was to make it a complete, all-in-one skillet meal with the addition of some potatoes. Unfortunately, some little hands got in my pantry and spilled water all over my bag of potatoes, leaving them completely unusable. So we had some noodles on the side instead.
If you want to make this a complete meal, slice or cube 3-4 potatoes and add with the onions in step 1. Cook as directed.
*Loupy's note...I would still add 1 peeled and sliced apple to this when adding the carrot. It takes out most of the "bite" of the sauerkraut.
