Whenever we have hot dogs I like to have some sauerkraut. Sauerkraut and mustard is may favorite hot dog topping. My husband will take a small portion of sauerkraut and my kids will tolerate the smell but do not eat it. Since I have loved sauerkraut since I was a small child I do not understand this behavior. Who raised these kids? Just weird.
Anyway, I always end up with at least half a can of sauerkraut left over. Sometimes I eat it in the next few days, sometimes it ends up being pushed to the back of the fridge where it sits becoming cute and fuzzy.
So, I was looking through recipes that used sauerkraut over on allrecipes and that inspired me to create a wonderful dish that uses apples, onions and smoked sausage.
Sauerkraut Skillet
Heat skillet over medium heat and add one slice smoked sausage.
When the sausage has had a chance to brown a bit add a tablespoon or two of butter and one chopped onion.
Cook until the onion becomes translucent and add two sliced apples (unpeeled).
Cook until the apple begins to soften and the onion is getting a bit of color, then add your leftover sauerkraut (or a whole can, if you'd like) and about two tablespoons of brown sugar.
Heat through and serve.
Delicious, IMHO.
