Happy Friday on a three-day weekend to make a really quick meal that you can use this weekend
So I know we use sausage all the time and I wanted to look it up and see when it was invented and it was invented over 4,000 years ago but it did not come to America
until the 1850s when the German immigrants brought it to us. So yay for that! Sauerkraut was invented
over 2,000 years ago by the Mongolian nomads. So there's a little history for you. Just dump the
sauerkraut right in there don't drain it just dump it in there okay and I bought
the inexpensive sauerkraut and I'm gonna add my own caraway seeds so in this bowl
I already have two tablespoons of a dark brown sugar you can use light brown it's fine whatever you have I have one teaspoon of garlic and I have one
teaspoon of the caraway seed this makes a Bavarian sauerkraut which is a more
traditional German sauerkraut not as sour as this is straight out of the can
and then the caraway gives it a really great flavor so I'm gonna add that we're
gonna add our applesauce which is gonna bring a great great great flavor into
this and then I'm just gonna use this to stir it up so just stir it up and
incorporate all those spices and the apples and so I bought a 14 ounce of
sausage you don't have to use 14 ounces this is gonna feed my husband and I
tonight this is my go-to quick dinner now I'm going to tell you something I had a
half of an onion left in my refrigerator so I just chopped it up you can do this
with anything you have left and I had a half of a red pepper so I thought what a
perfect time to use it all it can do is add more flavor right so if you have anything like that left in your refrigerator that would add good flavor to this Get it out Add it in there I don typically use the whole package So let see if we can squeeze
all this in there. What more wacky. This may not work. Look, I'm already at the top of my
at the top of my crock pot. So let's see if we can get this. That's why I wanted to stir it up
before I added any meat in there, because this is all going to cook down. So there went an onion
We don't want anything to escape. And so even though it looks like it's super full, it will
cook down. I promise. All right. That's not too bad. So I'm going to show it to you. It's pretty
full. Like I said, if you're doing this just for you, you do not have to add the whole package to
it. Um, but I'm doing it for my husband and I, and I want leftovers. I want this to be an easy
weekend. So I'm going to do mine today. I'm going to do mine on low and I'm going to do it for
probably about six hours. And then I'll check it because we have some activities that we're going
to go do today. And then I will take a shot of it when it's all cooked and done. And you can see
how yummy it looks. So I don't know if you got to see my kayaking video. We're out on a freshwater
lake right now camping, but next week we'll be on saltwater and I'll know I'm going to catch some
fish there. And so I'll be filming doing that. So stay tuned for next week's videos
