I know this sounds like a weird compo, but try it you'll like it. I'm not sure exactly where I found this recipe,but it's been DH and grandson's favorite deer hunting camp meal for many years. It cooks in one skillet so clean up is minimal.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb smoked sausage (cut in 4-inch lengths)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium onion (cut in wedges)
1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut
1 cup apple (cored and sliced)
1 cup apple juice
4 red potatoes (cubed)
1/2 cup brown sugar
salt and pepper

Directions

1
In a large skillet, brown smoked sausage in olive oil, add onions and cook for 3 minutes.
2
Arrange all ingredients around sausage in skillet and cook over medium heat 30-40 minutes or until juice has cooked down.
3
If kraut still has a sour taste, add more brown sugar to suit your taste.

I made this for lunch today, but omitted the potatoes, as I served this dish with mashed potatoes on the side. I saute'd the thinly sliced onions in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for approximately 5 minutes. (I also seasoned the onions with black pepper.) I cut the smoked sausage into 2-inch pieces, and placed them over the cooked onions. I placed the sliced apples in and around the smoked sausage. Topped the sausages and apples with a home-made sauerkraut, (I used exactly 1 lb. 5 oz.) and sprinkled on a bit more of the black pepper. I then poured a 1/2 cup of the apple juice over the kraut. I sprinkled a 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar over the kraut, and then poured the remaining 1/2 cup of apple juice over all. The next time I make this, I will decrease the amount of brown sugar, and will probably just use 6 tablespoons. If using a home-made or store bought (bagged) kraut for this recipe, I think one would need to add a 1/3 to a 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, but if using a (14-15 oz.) can, I think one should cut back on the brown sugar quite a bit, as the canned stuff is less tart, and your adding less sauerkraut to the recipe. I cooked this for exactly 40 mins., but next time I will cook it for 30 to 35 minutes, so the apples aren't overcooked. Next time I will won't slice the apple too thin either. The end results, I really enjoyed this dish. Thanks for posting this recipe BakinBaby. It was very good!!!

I'm not a big kraut fan, but this was pretty good. A little on the sweeter side...if I make again, I'll probably go a little lighter on the sugar, maybe start with a 1/4 cup. Thanks!

This was delish! I did not add all the brown sugar (maybe 1/8 C) because we like the tang of sauerkraut. It kinda reminds me of the tang & sweet you get with hot German potato salad. It's a keeper! Thaks BakinBaby for sharing a family recipe!

Didn't sound weird to me and, if this recipe is weird, I'd love to be directed to some more weird recipes, please! Comfort food at its best! Made with humble but tasty beef sausages which we loved with the sauerkraut, onion, apple and apple juice: a great blend of flavours. I used about half the specified amount of sugar (personal taste preference) and would certainly include this next time I make this dish. On this occasion, I omitted the potatoes as I was serving this with another potato dish. Thank you so much, BakinBaby, for a super recipe which I know I'll happily make again. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.
