I’m 38 year old girl trying to learn how to be 100 percent independent. First time making a crock pot meal today, with some guidance from this video. Thank you! Easy and fast guide, not overly complicated. I made mine really basic. We will see how it turns out. 🙂

German woman here, from Braunschweig....I'm SO DOING THIS! Now, I will use red spuds simply because I prefer them, but I agree the russets WILL add texture, too. Going to go for the Polish sausages, too. Again, it's what I prefer. AND before my fellow German's come for me, stop it, get creative, think OUTSIDE the box.

1-2 chopped apples, caraway seed is also a great addition

This is something I will make as soon as Lent is over. I love sauerkraut and I love leftovers!

I made this last night. It was a big hit. Reminded me of what we used to eat when I was a youth in Chicago. Only difference is I mixed all the ingredients before adding all the seasoning. Great easy recipe. 👍👍👍

Thanks for reminding me about this recipe. I used to make it long ago and added apples and brown sugar to it too. Wish my husband liked sauerkraut - it makes a ton for just me to eat it.

Sauerkraut and onions and potatoes are so delicious together . So flavorful and the leftovers are really good the next day.👍😋🥔🧅

Thank you Catherine! I'm going to add this to my menu for this week! It looks so good!

I love easy crockpot recipes this will be great for our St Patrick’s Day luncheon! Thanks for sharing ❤️

St. Patrick’s Day I will be making it as well as corn beef thank you Catherine happy St. Patrick’s Day💚☘️

I use the Georgia Boy or King Cotton smoked sausage because it is just about as locally made as I can get. I live in North central Alabama. The Georgia Boy is made in Georgia and the King Cotton in Tennessee.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I just happen to have all the ingredients for this recipe so I am going to make it this week. I'm sure my husband will love it. I think I will make cornbread to go with it. Thanks again!!!!

My grandma used to mk sauerkraut in the barrel I like my sauerkrAut w Caraway seeds Delicious

Made this today. It was absolutely delicious and so simple. Only thing I did different was I crisped up the kielbasa a bit first and added some everything but the bagel seasoning to the crockpot. Was really good. Thanks again!

This looks absolutely scrumptious!! Thanks Catherine! ❤️

I make this at least twice a month. I also instead sauerkraut I chop up cabbage. Very filling. I also use old bay season in the cabbage

This is a must make for the weekend. I love sauerkraut and turkey kielbasa and this checks all the boxes. What a great dish, thank you!!!!!🥰😋🍀

Love this and we also cube up a pork roast instead of sausage !! Absolutely amazing ! A big ole piece of cornbread to sop up the juice !! Yes please ! Thank you for this !!

This looks delicious!! I will be making this for sure!

Great recipe,going to store,and getting the ingredients today,thank you Catherine 🥰👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗💜🤗💜

I’ve had this cooking away in my slow cooker for a few hours and my house smells amazing!! Can’t wait to eat up soon!

Great old fashion recipe for this time of the year!!!

This is a so good and easy to make!! I sometimes cheat and used the can potatoes and cook it on the stove too. Love the smell of the house when this is cooking.

Love this dish. I make it quite often. Sometimes if I am in a hurry I do it in a big skillet with bottled potatoes and and some diced tomatoes.

Yellow onions are best! Love to start this on a stove with just broth and potatoes starting on the side. Exciting recipe!

This looks so good. I don’t make crockpot recipes too much now that the kids (5) are grown. But we would love this one. I may have to have the kids and family over just for this. Thanks Catherine

I make this often. So delicious.

Good morning Catherine, I haven't had this in a longtime thank you for sharing. I'm going to make it over the wkd . Have a wonderful wkd ❤

Gonna have to try this! Thanks for a great new idea!

I can't wait to make that this week Catherine...thank you for the great recipe!! 😊

Looks good thank you for sharing sharing this video. Have a great weekend

This dish looks wonderful. I love cabbage & sauerkraut. Thank you.

My mom used to make this with a pork roast. She also added some brown sugar and rye seeds. I haven't thought about this dish for a long time! Thank you for bringing back childhood memories! God bless you!

Thank you for sharing Catherine have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. Love this recipe yummy I'm making tonight was going to use cabbage but the sour kraut sounds even better delicious.

Thank you Catherine for another great tasting

My son is going to love this one

I add smoked sausage to fresh vegetables in summer and cook on the grill. So good.

This is such a good recipe. Have not made it in a while. It is on my list for next week. Thanks for sharing.

Yummy yummy great dinner idea love your channel

Thanks for posting this

Can't wait to try this!! Yummy

I'm definitely going to make your recipe this week. Looks so good. Thank You

Looks terrific!

Was going to have lasagna for dinner tonight but now I need to dash out to the grocery store to get these ingredients. Thank you for all your easy and delicious recipes!!

I love this, it’s also good with apple juice or a couple sliced apples

Mom always taught us to add 2 diced 🍏 apples adds a sweet/tartness...very yummy 😋

Mmm I'm going to fix that tomorrow I love this stuff Thank you for sharing

Looks so yummy! i will try this

excellent vidoeo... Glad I found you..... I absolutely love Saurkreaut

This is a great recipe….love all ingredients in it…Catherine, TFS…❤😊🍜🍚

My Aunt used to make something similar! Delicious!

This one I haven’t tried yet but I will now. Yummy! And you look so pretty today, Miss Catherine. That color looks great on you!

i love all these ingredients

I wouldn't mind using cooked sausage but my family hates it! I have a small town supermarket near me and since we moved here 5 years ago we buy the fresh polish sausage for 2.99 per lb. We love it. I make mine almost exactly like you do, only I put the fresh sausage in, in whole links on top of the potatoes, then I always use Vlasic polish kraut, we love the caraway seeds. I always rinse mine, I have since my ex fil taught me to rinse it first while I was making it for a big crowd a whole lot of years ago! Definitely cuts way down on salt. I just sprinkle a bunch of black pepper all over and slow cook for 5-6 hrs.on low. Delicious! Love your channel and all of the yummy recipes!

This turned out great!... I tweaked it a bit though, used beef broth, and sprinkled in some Caraway seeds.

This one is absolutely delicious but I love most of your recipes! Thank you! ❤

Sounds and looks delicious 😋

Yummy:) ty

Had to go get sauerkraut, came home and threw it all in my smaller crockpot! Read the comments, so I added a chopped apple and I love mushrooms so 6-8 chopped crimini went in. Can just begin to smell it now. Sunday dinner, yay! Thank you!

Def will have to try looks good and hearty

GOOD MORNING , THAT DISH LOOKS DELICIOUS 😋, THANK YOU FOR THAT RECIPE . 😘

We use beerwurst and spiced mustard plus cut up apples with potatoes and sourcrout. Sort of German flavor my mom always made.

I am looking for good recipes cooked in the slow cooker as we are renovating our kitchen and I don't currently have a stove or an oven available for cooking. This recipe will be delicious, will make this next week for sure! 😋😋😋

Well Catherine,remembered I froze new years leftovers kraut,made your kraut crockpot wish I had the sausage yo had it sounds so tasty,I had hilshirie smoked, with my leftover kraut it turned out fabulous,never would have thought to do make t your way. Thanks for dinner :)

Sure looks good. I will be trying this.❤❤❤

Gotta make this one!

Love this recipe. Being European descent, I really enjoy kielbasa. I would use Frank's sauerkraut. It doesn't have such a sour bite. The milder taste is better for me. I would also try this with cabbage. Thanks for the recipe.

This looks wonderful Catherine! 😍 This was a staple in our household when I was growing up! 😘 I really think my mom added potatoes to the sausage and sauerkraut to stretch the dish to feed all 5 of us! 😋 This is something that my siblings and I still make all the time! ☺️ In fact my sister and I had it last week! 😚 I find the same sausage at HEB and it's really great for this meal! 🤩 I think we could be sisters because we both were brought up with the same kind of food and it's almost like we had the same teacher! 😁 My sister also got the big jar of sauerkraut which was way too much for our meal. But the great thing about that is having some left for hot dogs! 😉 And if we still have more after the hot dogs then next week is St Patrick's Day and sauerkraut is great on Reuben sandwiches! (And she had one last night!) That big jar of sauerkraut doesn't go to waste since we have so many ways to use it! You've taken a lot of us down memory lane where we think of great meals growing up! And this is a tradition for all the kids now all grown up and we remember our mom when we make it! 🤗 Thanks for sharing another great recipe! 🥰

Love it! Thanks for the recipe and instructions. Definitely going to try it. Looks delicious!

I love Texas Heritage!

Looks amazing

Will be making this recipe tonight

This is almost same recipe as my "beer n bratwurst soup"..... I use bratwurst sausage, red potatoes, 2 large onions, large bag saurcraut, same spices and a 16oz can beer. Yummy they're so good!

Made this today,just as you did in your video.Serious yummers,and the house smelled soooo good all day.Used regular pork store brand sausage that was on sale.Both complete rings went into the pot.I have lots for the weekend,,and to freeze.Another winner,Catherine! Thanks for sharing!!

I’m definitely trying this! It looks delicious! Carrots would also be good in this dish and would make it like a corned beef dish but with sausage.

Like the bag sauerkraut w Caraway or jar in n a pinch my grandma md her own in the wood barrels use to b used for wine

I make this to and really love it.I also make it with Cher-make skin on hot dogs.Yum.

I've made this before and the flavors are amazing!

I make this with a shredded cabbage. I use 1/2 onion in the crockpot. Right before serving I sauté 1/2 onion with sausage and put a heaping spoonful over a bowl full from crockpot. I can’t wait to try yours with sour kraut. 🥣

Looks so easy make.❤❤

Looks so delicious,a.must try.thank you for teaching me how to feed myself.

Awesome thanks

Fennel seeds added to the mix is delicious.

Hi Catherine!!! This is one of my fav dishes also. I eat it with cut green beans. I have never made it in the Crock Pot but I will try it next time I make this meal. I'm going to have to make it soon because now I'm hungry for it. I would mash my potatoes only because that's how I like it with this meal. Looks super yummy to me... Great video!!!...🦋

Be still my heart ! ! ! I have not thought about this recipe for decades. One of my favorite foods sauerkraut. I know crazy. You have a sweet tooth n I’m just the opposite. When u dump a cup of sugar in a recipe I cringe, lololol not really, we all have our favorites. Thanks for this one thought. Brought bad a flood of memories.

Good comfort food 😊

I love sourkarut.thank you for shareing.

This was delicious! even my husband liked it and he does not care for sauerkraut! I cut down on the sauerkraut and onion a bit just in case. Thank you 😊

Oh…that looks yummy…need to give it a try 😁

Going to make this

I love this dish and I make a phone of cornbread to go with it. Delish!!!!❤🙏🏻🥰

An awesome version of Kapusta! Can not wait to make it this way!!

Making this today. Happy new year 🎆

This is my all-time favorite meal too. Like another mentioned I will add a diced apple to this dish. I do have to rinse my sauerkraut though. The brand I normally get has a nice crispness to the kraut, but the juice is just too sour for my tastes. I generally get a Polish Kielbasa. I’ll have to look for the Texas smoked one you used. I’m in Texas too.

Mmm, that looks delicious! I've never put sauerkraut on anything but brats before, but I'll have to give this a try. Once I eat some of my current leftovers to make room in the fridge lol.

Almost a Rueben! Yum!

Good morning Catherine. This looks good, but kraut doesn't agree with us, but plain old cabbage does so will try that or the green beans. Love crock recipes. Thanks. Take care

Have to try this !

Looks yummy.

I know about this soup from Czechs. They add tomato paste, sweet paprika, cayenne to give it a distinct red look. Theirs also had quite a bit more broth, like almost all the way up. The big thing that you and everyone else here notes is that this is better on the second day. The Czechs won't even let you eat this on the first day!!!!!!
