Provided by Amy P.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Sausage

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup water

1 cup sliced carrots
2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules

Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes and carrots are tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Place the sauerkraut on top of the vegetables in a layer, and place the sausages onto the sauerkraut. Cover, and cook until the sausages are heated through, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: For the best flavor, use a good-quality sausage that is flavorful and has a nice texture. Avoid sausages that are too fatty or gristly.
  • Brown the sausage well: Browning the sausage gives it a nice caramelized flavor and helps to release its natural fats. This will also help to prevent the sausage from becoming dry and crumbly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your skillet. Some good options include onions, peppers, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
  • Add some spices: Spices can help to add flavor and depth to your skillet. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Don't overcook the sauerkraut: Sauerkraut is a fermented food, so it can easily become overcooked and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is heated through.

Conclusion:

Savory sausage and sauerkraut skillet is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up any leftover sausage or sauerkraut that you may have. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this skillet is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
