BEER-BRAISED SAUSAGES AND SAUERKRAUT
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a large bowl soak sauerkraut in cold water to cover 20 minutes, changing water once halfway through soaking.
- While sauerkraut is soaking, in a large heavy skillet cook bacon pieces over moderate heat, stirring, until golden. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons drippings and add onions to bacon. Cook mixture, stirring, until onions are softened.
- Drain sauerkraut well in a colander, pressing out excess liquid, and in a large flameproof roasting pan combine with bacon mixture, carrots, beer, broth, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns. Bring sauerkraut mixture to a boil on top of stove and boil 1 minute. Cover pan tightly with foil and braise in middle of oven 4 hours. Sauerkraut may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead, cooled, uncovered, and chilled, covered with plastic wrap. Reheat sauerkraut before proceeding.
- If desired, in a heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and in batches brown sausages. Add sausages and pork loin to sauerkraut, partially submerging them. Braise sausages and sauerkraut, covered tightly with foil, in middle of oven 30 minutes and transfer with a slotted spoon to a heated platter, discarding bay leaves if desired. (Do not eat bay leaves if leaving as garnish.)
KIELBASA IN BEER SAUCE
Original recipe comes from Cooks.com. I modified it slightly. I like to serve this as a side with home-made baked beans but it would go great with many things. Can be used as a main course, side or even a hot appetizer and should be included in your Octoberfest planning!

Steps:
- 1. Combine the beer and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, until the sugar melts and the mixture is slightly thickened; set aside. 2. Cut the kielbasa into links and place in a slow cooker. Cover with the drained sauerkraut. Pour the beer and brown sugar mixture over top. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or on low for 8 to 10 hours. (We ended up doing a combination - high for 3 hours and then low for another 3 or so. Definitely the longer it cooks the better it tastes!) 3. Serve on its own or on your favorite sandwich roll.
Tips:
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the kielbasa in the beer and brown sugar mixture for longer. You can marinate it for up to 24 hours, but even 30 minutes will make a difference.
- If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large skillet or braising pan. Just make sure it has a lid that fits tightly.
- Serve the kielbasa and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or your favorite side dish.
