Kielbasa & 'Kraut

Wow! This dinner was soooo good and it really couldn't have been more simple to put together. So much flavor bursting out of these little foil packets. The recipe called for grilling them but we just popped them in a 425º oven for 15 minutes and they came out just great. I doubled up the foil just in case because of the liquids in the packets, I didn't want it to spill out everywhere. I also placed them on a large baking sheet so I didn't have to try to perform a balancing act pulling them out of the oven. You have to have some warm, crusty bread for mopping the tasty broth that forms from cooking these.

Kielbasa & 'Kraut

ingredients

• 1/2  beef kielbasa sausage link, sliced in half on the bias
• 1 cup fresh sauerkraut
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 tbsp caraway seeds
• 6 oz beef broth

• Kosher Salt & Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
• Crusty Bread

directions

1. Preheat oven to 425º.

2. Lay out 2 large pieces of foil. In the center, divide the kielbasa, kraut, red onion, parsley, caraway seeds and S&P. Bring up all 4 corners of the foil and begin to form a pouch. Before sealing it up pour in the beef broth evenly in the 2 pouches. Tightly seal each packet. Place on a baking sheet and then place in the oven.

3. Bake the packets 15 minutes. Remove and serve with warm crusty bread for mopping.


We also made some quick jalapeno poppers for an easy appetizer (still have plentiful amount from the garden!)...
