Ingredients for Baked Sauerkraut

  • Polish Sausage
  • 1 (26-ounce) bag sauerkraut
  • Bacon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • Stewed Tomatoes

How to Make Baked Sauerkraut

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 (26-ounce) bag of sauerkraut, 1 (14.5-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
  3. Pour the sauerkraut mixture into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  4. Evenly crumble 4 ounces of cooked bacon over the sauerkraut.
  5. Arrange 1 pound of cooked Italian sausage (removed from casings) on top of the bacon.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the sauerkraut is bubbly and tender. The baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  7. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve hot with crusty Italian or French bread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
