POLISH SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE (KAPUSTA)
When my husband's Grandmother died, I was the designated person to bring this to all holiday dinners (even though I'm Irish!) since I learned what to do by watching her. She always used fresh rather than smoked Polish Sausage.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bring sausage to boil and simmer 15 minutes; drain and set aside.
- Cut bacon into small pieces.
- Begin browning, then add diced onion.
- Saute together until bacon is almost crisp.
- Drain mixture, reserving bacon grease.
- Drain sauerkraut (do not rinse).
- Add sauerkraut and brown sugar to bacon mixture.
- Mix in about 2 Tablespoons reserved bacon grease and water.
- Place in large casserole dish.
- Cut Polish sausage into 3" pieces and place on top of sauerkraut.
- Cover and bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour 15 minutes, checking sauerkraut mixture halfway through to add more water if sauerkraut appears very dry.
- Finish baking; remove from oven.
- Taste sauerkraut and, if desired, adjust flavor by adding salt and pepper, or a little more brown sugar, vinegar or bacon grease to your taste. (Note: In the old days, Busia (Grandma) would soak a cup of yellow peas overnight to soften them and would mix them into the sauerkraut. It was probably to stretch the quantity, but I don't do it anymore!).
LENTIL AND POLISH SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
We like lentils, and this recipe is fast, easy and cheap. I bought the sausage for 99 cents at the local Canned Foods Warehouse (aka Rainbow). You can use hot sausage or mild. I usually make this with half red and half brown lentils for the texture, but you can use all of one kind. I imagine this could be made in a crockpot, I just haven't done it. Serve with a fresh salad.

Steps:
- Saute the onions in the olive oil until brown (about 10 minutes).
- Add the garlic and continue to cook for a minute or two.
- Add the lentils and the sausage.
- Add the water, bay leaf, salt (at least 1 teaspoon or to taste) and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, cover and turn down the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for about 1 1/2 hrs or until lentils are tender.
- Watch the pot to make sure there is enough liquid so that the lentils don't burn.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the oil (or melted butter) in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Spread the chopped onion and then the shredded potatoes evenly to cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake this first layer in the oven for 20 minutes, to crisp it up.
- While the potato layer is baking you will have time to make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then add the flour, dry mustard, and salt & pepper. Whisk the mixture together, allowing it to slightly brown and become smooth and just bubbly. Pour in the milk and whisk until smooth and thick. Then add the cheese and whisk again until the cheese has melted, remove from heat.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and cover the top of the potatoes with the thinly sliced polish sausage. Place uncooked asparagus over the top of the sausage and pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top of the asparagus. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the casserole and put into the oven to bake for 40 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality Polish sausage for the best flavor. Look for sausage that is made with fresh, all-natural ingredients.
- If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can also use a large pot or skillet.
- If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Polish sausage casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Polish sausage casserole a try.
