SMOKED SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE



Smoked Sausage and Sauerkraut Casserole image

A hearty and easy supper entree. I need to say up front that this one is a spin-off of Mareesme's: Recipe #199769 -- but I didn't have the proper ingredients for that fine recipe so I changed to smoked sausage and I eliminated the stovetop techniques, so it's all just baking/broiling. Hey, this was GOOD and I credit Mareesme for turning me on to the basic ingredients and some shrewd seasoning with the little touch of brown sugar. If you like weenies and sauerkraut, you like this one even better! pat, the old bone man.

Time 1h40m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb smoked sausage
6 slices bacon
32 ounces sauerkraut, drained, not rinsed
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 cup water

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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium potatoes
8 ounces sauerkraut, drained
1 tablespoon sliced green onion
1/2 lb pork sausage (I use hot Italian, casings removed)
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
parmesan cheese, freshly grated (for the top)

Steps:

  • Peel and cook potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, combine sauerkraut and onion; place in a 2 to 3 cup casserole.
  • Brown sausage meat; drain; spoon over sauerkraut.
  • Drain potatoes; mash with milk, butter, salt and pepper.

  • This recipe can be doubled, tripled or made for a large gathering.
  • Just remember to increase the size of the casserole dish as well as the ingredients.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right sausage is key to this dish. Look for a bratwurst or kielbasa that is flavorful and has a good amount of fat content. This will help to keep the sausage moist and juicy during baking.
  • Be sure to slice the sausage into thin pieces before cooking. This will help to ensure that the sausage cooks evenly and does not become dry or overcooked.
  • Sauerkraut can vary in flavor, so it is important to taste it before adding it to the dish. If the sauerkraut is too sour, you can rinse it with water or soak it in milk for a few hours to mellow the flavor.
  • If you are using fresh sauerkraut, be sure to rinse it thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris that may be present.
  • Adding a variety of spices and herbs to the dish will help to enhance the flavor of the sausage and sauerkraut. Some good options include caraway seeds, juniper berries, and bay leaves.
  • Be sure to cook the sausage and sauerkraut until it is heated through. This will help to ensure that the dish is safe to eat and that the flavors have had a chance to meld together.
