This Slow Cooker Kielbasa, Pork, and Sauerkraut is a delicious way to ring in the New Year. Better yet, it requires little effort to make. Just set it and forget it!
I am not entirely sure of this recipe’s origins. I got it from my mom, who makes it every New Year’s Day. I do the same now, but also make it at other times of the year.
This recipe makes a lot of food, and so would be great when you need to feed a crowd. It freezes well, too! So don’t feel obligated to only eat it when you have an army to feed.
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 28 oz sauerkraut, drained
- 1 tbs caraway seeds
- 14 oz cream of celery soup
- 2 lbs kielbasa, cut into 3-inch pieces
- 3-4 lbs pork shoulder roast, cut into large pieces
- 1 cup colby jack cheese, shredded
-
Combine the onion, brown sugar, sauerkraut, caraway seeds, and cream of celery soup in a large slow cooker.
-
Add the kielbasa and pork to the slow cooker, nestling it into the sauerkraut mixture.
-
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
-
Right before serving, add the colby jack cheese and stir to combine.

September 23, 2013 at 10:07 amHey there Ella! Actually yes, this stuff freezes well. I will add that to the post. It’s just me and my husband most of the time, too, so we’ve frozen it on occasion (when we haven’t just eaten it for days as leftovers 😉 ).
