This is one of the many recipes we make using kielbasa and sauerkraut. The potatoes and the pork chop make it a very filling dish, add some buttered rye bread and it is enough to feed an army. You can find the method for cooking fresh kielbasa here, if you do not have the time to prepare the fresh kielbasa you could certainly use a smoked kielbasa that is already cooked for you. Another option would be to cook the kielbasa the night before. If you have that ready the meal comes together in under 30 minutes.
My favorite horseradish sauce is Woebers Horseradish Sauce, 16 oz I find it at Anderson’s General Store, but now that they are closing I may have to buy it online from Amazon. It is creamy and has some serious kick to it. I know with sauerkraut it is either a love or hate deal with some people, the good thing about this dish is there are potatoes as well so kraut haters (like my kids) can pick around it and still get a good meal.

My grandfather used to make something similar to this and I just loved it. I make it every now and then.. It’s been a while, time to make it again!
What a fantastic recipe using some basic ingredients. This is just awesome comfort food and I can see how versatile it can be!
I love how easy this is to make. It’s essentially a one-pot meal. Also, I’m a huge fan of sauerkraut, so I’m going to have to give the one you recommend a try.
My husband is German and loves sauerkraut and sausages! This look spot on! I have to say those meals are hard to make appealing on photo but your looks so yummy! Great recipe!
