Slow Cooker Polish Sausage & Sauerkraut Recipe

I love using my slow cooker (crockpot) and use it a few times every week. I usually use it to make the main course to a family meal but at times I also use it to make a delicious slow cooked dessert.

A few weeks ago I used my slow cooker to make some sausage and sauerkraut and what I love about this recipe is that it’s super easy to prepare and only requires a handful of ingredients. It is not spicy so if you want to add some heat to it or spice it up…you will need to do that all on your own.

When I make this I always whip up a large batch of mashed potatoes. Some of my family members spoon it over the top of the mashed potatoes and some of them enjoy it on the side. However you serve it is up to you!

Slow Cooker Polish Sausage & Sauerkraut Recipe

2 to 2 1/2 lbs. Polish Sausage, uncooked
6 to 8 oz. Bag Sauerkraut (don’t use canned)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon rosemary

Cut the polish sausage into 3″ long pieces. In a large skillet brown the polish sausage on all sides. Remove from heat. Place the sausage into a slow cooker and cover them with water. Simmer on the high heat setting for 1 1/2 hours. Drain liquid from the bag of sauerkraut. Pour sauerkraut into the slow cooker and then add in your salt, ground black pepper, parsley, oregano, thyme and rosemary. Stir to combine everything together. Cover. Reduce heat to the low setting and slow cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until done. Serve immediately.

Looking for a new slow cooker? I have three of them and use them all of the time. The last two that I got…I purchased from Amazon and love them!
