All in One Kielbasa

Polish kielbasa is a wonderful gift brought from the old country, and when we make it with sauerkraut and bacon, we come up with the most hearty, authentic taste.

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 20 min

Ingredients

• 5 slices fresh bacon, or 4 tablespoons bacon bits
• 1 bag (32 ounces) sauerkraut, drained (4 cups)
• 1 can (4 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
• 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 pound kielbasa

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, fry the bacon slices over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, until crispy.
   
   
2. Remove from the skillet, allow to cool, and crumble into small pieces in a small bowl.
   
   
3. Meanwhile, drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet, then add the sauerkraut, mushrooms, and celery seed to the skillet; add the crumbled bacon and mix well.
   
   
4. Reduce the heat to low and add the whole kielbasa and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until heated through.
