Polish Sausage and Sauerkraut Casserole (Kapusta) image

When my husband's Grandmother died, I was the designated person to bring this to all holiday dinners (even though I'm Irish!) since I learned what to do by watching her. She always used fresh rather than smoked Polish Sausage.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lbs Polish sausage, fresh if possible
1/2 lb bacon
1 small yellow onion
2 (27 ounce) jars sauerkraut
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bring sausage to boil and simmer 15 minutes; drain and set aside.
  • Cut bacon into small pieces.
  • Begin browning, then add diced onion.
  • Saute together until bacon is almost crisp.
  • Drain mixture, reserving bacon grease.
  • Drain sauerkraut (do not rinse).
  • Add sauerkraut and brown sugar to bacon mixture.
  • Mix in about 2 Tablespoons reserved bacon grease and water.
  • Place in large casserole dish.
  • Cut Polish sausage into 3" pieces and place on top of sauerkraut.
  • Cover and bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour 15 minutes, checking sauerkraut mixture halfway through to add more water if sauerkraut appears very dry.
  • Finish baking; remove from oven.
  • Taste sauerkraut and, if desired, adjust flavor by adding salt and pepper, or a little more brown sugar, vinegar or bacon grease to your taste. (Note: In the old days, Busia (Grandma) would soak a cup of yellow peas overnight to soften them and would mix them into the sauerkraut. It was probably to stretch the quantity, but I don't do it anymore!).

Tips for Making the Best Fresh Polish Sausage, Sauerkraut, and Potato Dish:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, quality Polish sausage, sauerkraut, and potatoes for the best flavor. Look for Polish sausage that is made with a blend of pork and beef, and sauerkraut that has a tangy but not overpowering flavor.
  • Fry the sausage before adding it to the dish: This helps to render some of the fat and crisp up the sausage, giving it a more intense flavor and texture.
  • Simmer the sauerkraut: Simmering the sauerkraut in a mixture of water and vinegar helps to mellow its flavor and make it more tender.
  • Boil the potatoes until tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and break apart.
  • Combine the ingredients and bake: Once the sausage, sauerkraut, and potatoes are cooked, combine them in a baking dish and bake until heated through. This allows the flavors to meld and the dish to brown slightly on top.

Conclusion:

This hearty and flavorful dish is a classic for a reason. The combination of smoky sausage, tangy sauerkraut, and tender potatoes is simply irresistible. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover sausage and sauerkraut. Next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this Polish sausage, sauerkraut, and potato dish a try. You won't be disappointed.
