KIELBASA AND FRIED BUTTERED SAUERKRAUT
Add some cornbread and you have one easy weeknight meal. Kielbasa and sauerkraut are great together, but adding the butter makes this recipe extra special. Browning the butter and sauerkraut adds tons of flavor. Make sure to let it get browned ... that's where the flavor is.

Steps:
- 1. Use a large skillet. Put the butter in and melt it around the pan. When it starts to sizzle put in the whole can of sauerkraut.
- 2. While the sauerkraut is cooking, cut up the kielbasa into 1 inch slices. Put aside.
- 3. Stir the sauerkraut. Once it starts turning brown add the kielbasa.
- 4. Continue to stir, add the spices, and stir some more. The sauerkraut should be golden brown with some darkened areas. Let it cook and stir often (sauerkraut burns easily, so you have to watch it. You only want a little bit darkened)
- 5. Once everything is mixed and the sauerkraut is golden brown turn off the heat and let it sit until the burner is cool. (This will darken the sauerkraut further.) Serve and enjoy.
FRIED SAUERKRAUT CAKES WITH KIELBASA
This is similar to a potato pancake in texture. The recipe was handed down to me by a local chef. This meal is best served with buttered noodles or mashed potatoes. I recommend serving this dish with a side of warm applesauce or recipe #3057 Daisy Mae's Fried Apples.

THE ORIGINAL KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT
This is a family recipe passed down from my grandfather and my father who still make every New Year's Day. It's the best. Trust me, you'll love this recipe. It's original and kinda simple. It's 'old school.' Serve with Jewish rye bread, butter, and horseradish. A good side is mashed potatoes with cheese, milk, and butter to create a rich, creamy, tasty mashed potatoes to go with the dish.

FRIED CABBAGE AND KIELBASA
This recipe works well for many occasions. This is also the type of recipe that you can add to or build on to make your own. If you aren't too crazy about the taste of cabbage, keep in mind that the onion, bacon drippings, and kielbasa seems to tone down that cabbage-y taste a bit, and you can also add other things or spices to tone it down.
