1/2 cup butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced (four if you are a garlic lover)
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
ground black pepper, to taste

The Original Kielbasa and Sauerkraut image

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.
