Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage or bratwurst are great options for this recipe, but you can use any type of sausage you like. Just make sure it's a fully cooked sausage so that it's safe to eat.
  • Use a large skillet: This recipe makes a lot of food, so you'll need a large skillet to cook it all in. A 12-inch skillet is a good size.
  • Cook the sausage first: This will help to render out the fat and brown the sausage. Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Add the onions, peppers, and sauerkraut to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are softened. This will take about 5 minutes.
  • Add the sausage and broth: Once the vegetables are cooked, add the sausage and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the sauerkraut is heated through.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the sausage and vegetables are still hot. You can serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Conclusion:

This sausage and sauerkraut skillet dinner is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover sausage. The combination of sausage, sauerkraut, and vegetables is hearty and flavorful, and the dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
