Can I Make on Stovetop?
If you do not have a Blackstone, you can easily make this on the Stovetop. You can use a griddle or a cast iron skillet.
Make sure to oil the skillet with oil or butter and begin cooking the Kielbasa. Then add in the sauerkraut with the seasoning and cook mixture together. Combining these ingredients take just a few minute to cook.
Another option is to cook this recipe in the slow cooker. Place the crock pot on low and cook for about 2 to 3 hours. Make sure the kielbasa is fully cooked and the sauerkraut is warmed.
Kielbasa and Sauerkraut Recipe Tips:
- Kielbasa – Prepare the kielbasa by cutting in about the same size pieces. This allows the kielbasa to cook about the same time.
- Blackstone – Make sure to preheat the Blackstone and oil before adding the Kielbasa. This allows the ingredient to not to stick.
- Sauerkraut – Add the sauerkraut and the seasoning towards the end of cooking time. This allows for the mixture to warm and then it is perfect for serving.
Variation Ideas:
- Oil – You can use any oil with a high smoke point. Avocado oil, coconut oil, canola oil and vegetable oil all are great options.
- Kielbasa Substitute – If you are unable to find fully cooked kielbasa you can still use bratwurst in this recipe. Smoked sausage would also be a great substitute.
- Onion – When cooking this recipe, we like to use chopped fresh onion. But you can use onion powder if you prefer.
- Mustard – Feel free to change the mustard to what you prefer. You can even use Dijon Mustard as a great substitute to brown mustard.
- Vegetables – Additional vegetables can be added to this recipe. Feel free to add in bell peppers or chopped zucchini for a complete meal idea.
- Top Mixture – You can top the mixture with caraway seeds if you prefer for more flavor. Add in chopped granny smith apples for a tasty option.
- Sauerkraut Substitute – If you prefer to use something other than sauerkraut substitute with coleslaw mix. You can usually find a mixture in the produce section.
