Introduction
A quick and comforting Southern classic made with just three simple ingredients: smoked sausage, sauerkraut, and olive oil. This simple skillet dinner is packed with savory and tangy flavors, making it the perfect hearty meal for busy weeknights.
Step 1
Open the package and place the smoked sausage rope onto a cutting board.
Step 2
Slice the sausage at an angle into rounds that are about 1/2 to 1 inch thick.
Step 3
Preheat 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the sliced sausage.
Step 4
Brown the sausage slices in the skillet, flipping them occasionally with a spatula until they are nicely caramelized on both sides.
Step 5
Drain the sauerkraut. Add one full can of drained sauerkraut directly into the skillet with the sausage.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Make sure to drain the liquid from the sauerkraut cans before adding it to the skillet to avoid making the dish too watery.
Do not drain the grease from the pan after browning the sausage; the sausage fat provides a deep, savory flavor that seasons the sauerkraut.
Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the caramelized sausage bits (fond) into the sauerkraut for extra flavor.
This dish pairs excellently with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rye bread.
