SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT

One-pot meals are perfect for making several servings with minimal effort and little clean-up, and sausage and sauerkraut fall nicely into that category. You can create variety with this hearty recipe by changing the type of sausage used and by adding Swerve Brown for a sweeter version, or by enjoying the natural tartness of the sauerkraut alone.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 pkg AlFresca Italian Chicken Sausage*(see notes), sliced or whole
  • 1 25-oz jar Bubbies sauerkraut, drained (healthy refrigerated section)
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 large organic Granny Smith apple, diced
  • 1/8-1/4 cup Swerve Brown (can use granular Swerve)
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large pan, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté under translucent. Add sausage to the pan and brown well over medium-low heat on all sides.
  2. Add drained sauerkraut, diced apple, Swerve brown and pepper and stir well. Cover and simmer on low about 15-20 minutes, making sure to mix in all the flavor in the skillet from browning.
  3. Check periodically to stir and check for moisture to prevent burning. Add a 1/4 cup of water at a time, as necessary.

NOTES: *You can use different sausages in this recipe. Just make sure it is a product without preservatives, sugars, nitrites, nitrates, etc. Sam’s Club had smoked beef sausages, if you want the smoked flavor. Aldi often has grass-fed beef or chicken sausages, as well. If you aren’t sure, send us a copy of your product, and we will let you know if it’s okay.
