Mom brewed her own sauerkraut and, of course, the cabbage was from our big farm garden! Blending the kraut with spicy sausage and apples was Mom's favorite way to fix it, and I still love this country dish. —Rosemary Pryor, Pasadena, Maryland

Tip

Chopped Onion Substitute

When there’s no time to chop onions, onion powder is one option. Substitute 1 tablespoon of onion powder for one medium chopped onion. For the best onion flavor, use frozen chopped onions or dried minced onion (found in the spice aisle). One tablespoon of dried minced onion equals 1/4 cup minced raw onion.

I very reluctantly brought two servings of this recipe to my elderly parents. It was hard to part with a single delicious spoonful. However, I used about 1/2 the amount of sugar, and beef kielbasa. My parents loved it as much as I did! Comfort food at its best.

This is one of my favorite supper dishes. The only thing I do differently is to add 2 chicken bouillion cubes to the hot water. I have a friend who's an excellent cook and that's how she makes her sauerkraut. This dish is savory and delicious!

Substituted smoked polish kielbasa for the italian sausage, sauteed slices w/ the onions to brown them up a bit. Served over mashed potatoes. Yum, yum! This is a really good recipe and easy to prepare. I will definitley make it again and again as we love sauerkraut!

This was easy to do and so delicious! The only difficult which I encountered was being able to stop eating.
