SLOW COOKER KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT (FRESH KIELBASA)

Steps:

• Place your sauerkraut in a strainer over the sink and let it drain while you prep the other ingredients. *See Notes*
• Add oil to a large pan or directly into your slow cooker if it can go on the stove or has browning capabilities. Sear the kielbasa for about 2 minutes on each side to crisp and brown up. Remove from pan and set aside.**See Notes**
• Add the mushrooms and a little more oil if needed and brown for 5 minutes.
• Add the onion to the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Add about 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper, it's about 20 twists for me.
• Add in 1/4 cup of water and the bouillon cube, scrape the bottom of the pot and mix until the bouillon cube is dissolved.
• Use your hand to really squeeze out all the moisture in the kraut, then add it to the pot and mix the kraut and mushroom/onion mixture together.
• Place all of this in your slowcooker and nestle the kielbasa on the top. Cover and cook on low for at least 6 hours.
• Slice the kielbasa into serving size pieces and serve alongside the kraut. Serve with horseradish, rye bread, or pierogi as desired.

THE ORIGINAL KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Cook fatback in a large pot over low heat until the drippings render out, about 45 minutes, stirring often. Stir sauerkraut and cabbage into the pork drippings, bring to a simmer, and cook until cabbage is very tender, about 3 hours. Stir occasionally. Mix kielbasa into the cabbage and kraut; cook 45 minutes to 1 hour to blend flavors.
