Bratwurst And Sauerkraut Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (14 ounce) cans sauerkraut
1 large onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 bay leaf
1 (1 lb) package kielbasa, cut into 1 to 2 inch pieces
4 -6 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch squares

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0. I put mine in the crockpot.
Drain and rinse sauerkraut in a colander.
Mix with all the ingredients in a bowl and pour into large casserole dish (or put in crockpot) Cover and bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
Or let cook in crockpot on low for several hours until potatoes are tender. I usually add 1 can of water and mix well. Add more water accordingly throughout the day.
I let mine cook all day on low.
You can also try substituting the brown sugar with applesauce and apple chunks (1/2 cup each) for color and texture.
I also use the Bavarian kraut--this gives this dish a sweeter flavor--even my kids like it.
