Grandpa's Sauerkraut And Kielbasa

I grew up asking for sauerkraut instead of candy as a child, and my grandfather always made it for me. This is my version of what he would make.

Put the cold butter in a cold pan with the diced onion , and slowly bring to a simmer on medium heat.

This brings out the sweetness of the onions.

Simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add minced garlic and simmer 2 more minutes.

Add next 3 ingredients.

Combine with the sauerkraut , kielbasa and potatoes.

Bring to a simmer on the stove top.

Cover loosely with foil and place in a preheated 225f oven for 3 hours.
