How to Make Smoked Sausage And Sauerkraut

  1. Drain a 1-pound bag of sauerkraut in a colander.
  2. Rinse the sauerkraut thoroughly under cold running water for 2-3 minutes to remove excess brine.
  3. Place the rinsed sauerkraut in a large, shallow oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
  4. Cut 1 pound of smoked sausage into 1-inch thick serving pieces.
  5. Cut each sausage piece almost in half lengthwise, creating a slit. Arrange the sausage pieces on top of the sauerkraut.
  6. Pour one 46-ounce bottle of V8 vegetable juice over the sausage and sauerkraut. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 30-40 minutes, or until the sausage is heated through and the flavors have melded.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or fried potatoes.
  8. Enjoy!
