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.

Provided by Experimenter

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Dumpling Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
⅓ cup water
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 slices bacon, diced
½ large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 small Gala apple, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 (16 ounce) package sauerkraut
1 (16 ounce) package kielbasa sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a metal colander.
  • Whisk together the flour and salt in a bowl. Mix the eggs and water, and pour into the flour mixture. Stir to form a dough.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the spaetzle dough into the oiled colander, and set the colander over the pot of water. Use a flexible spatula to push the dough into the boiling water through the holes in the colander. Stir the spaetzle as they boil. When they have floated to the top, they are done (about 5 minutes). Scoop the spaetzle out of the boiling water, and place into an ungreased 9x9-inch baking dish.
  • Place the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until the bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon, leaving drippings in pan, and set aside. Cook the onion in the same pan as the bacon until browned, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until foamy, and stir in the apple and brown sugar. Cook and stir until the apple is soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon, onions, and sauerkraut into the skillet, and cook, stirring often, until the flavors have blended, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauerkraut mixture into the 9x9-inch baking dish on top of the spaetzle.
  • Place the kielbasa pieces into a microwave-safe dish, and cook on full power in a microwave oven until the sausage is hot and has lost its pink color, 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer the sausage to the baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of smoked sausage. Kielbasa, andouille, and bratwurst are all good options. If you're not sure which type to choose, ask your butcher for recommendations.
  • Brown the sausage before adding it to the casserole. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is firm and has a slightly sour flavor. Avoid sauerkraut that is mushy or has a strong vinegar smell.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The sausage and sauerkraut should be heated through, but not overcooked. Overcooking will make the sausage tough and the sauerkraut mushy.
  • Serve the casserole with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will help to balance out the sourness of the sauerkraut and add a creamy richness to the dish.

Conclusion:

Cheesy smoked sausage sauerkraut casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
