Ingredients

• 2 14 ounce packages of Smoked Polish Sausage
• 1 24 ounce jar of sauerkraut
• 1/2 C of Brown Sugar
• 1 Can of Beer
• 2 T of Yellow Mustard
• 2 T Dried Minced Onion
• 1 teaspoon of caraway seed

Instructions

1. Cut the smoked polish sausage into two-inch pieces.
2. Drain the Sauerkraut and I use kitchen shears to cut it up so it is not to stringy.
3. In a sauce pan, add a little butter or oil and sauté the caraway seeds for a couple minutes, then add then combine the beer, brown sugar, mustard and minced onion and bring to a simmer. Stir until the brown sugar and mustard are dissolved.
   
4. Spray your crock pot with non stick spray.
   
5. Add the kraut and the sausage to your crock pot.
   
6. Pour the beer and brown sugar mixture over the sausage and kraut.
   
7. This recipe can cook on high for 3 hours or on low up to eight hours.

That is all there is to this recipe. You can serve with fried potatoes or mashed potatoes and a really good mustard for the sausage. I love to serve really good Polish Rye Bread with butter.

It’s a perfect recipe for Oktoberfest but you and your family will love it all year round.
