Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds smoked Polska kielbasa
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 onion, sliced
3 cups sauerkraut, drained
3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat grill. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut kielbasa into 3-inch lengths and butterfly lengthwise. Place on hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side turning frequently, charring all sides. Remove from grill. Transfer kielbasa to a baking sheet and place in oven to cook for another 5 to 6 minutes.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add butter and sugar. Allow sugar to cook to a golden brown color. Add onions and cook until caramelized. Stir in the sauerkraut and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until onions and sauerkraut are wilted and colored.

Remove kielbasa from oven and cut into 1-inch pieces. Add to pan of sauerkraut and onions. Toss together and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a platter, garnish with parsley and serve with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce.

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:

1/4 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
Pinch salt
Pinch cracked black pepper

Will be making this again!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I started out making this for just my husband since I am not a fan of sauerkraut and the kids usually avoid onions, but we... all ended up eating it. The sauerkraut and onion mellowed out nicely and the honey mustard gave it a nice flavor kick. I will consider making the honey mustard as a regular dipping sauce for other dishes as well. I would recommend trying this recipe at least once, its definitely worth it!!Read more

Don't know why I have not reviewed before, but this recipe is easy and GOOD. The non-onion eaters in my family ate this and... asked for more. This one has been a regular on the household rotation and will continue to be. YUM YUM!Read more

Better than I thought it would be!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love sauerkraut, and of course my husband doesn't care for it to much. so we rarely even eat it. One night I was looking at... the different recipes and came across this one and new I just had to try it. I liked it so much that I made my husband try it out and he loved it and even went back for left overs! Awesome recipe!Read more

Saurkraut ain't all that bad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have never liked saurkraut at all and was a little scared to try this, but it looked so good, I decided to try it just one... more time. I was scared of horseradish and didn't think much of dijon mustard. WOW. It was fabulous!! I have even made the mustard sauce to use on different dishes. Definitely worth trying. Definitely worth trying again and again.Read more

Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

When I saw this episode I just had to try it. I jazzed it up a little bit by adding some diced tomatoes and it was great my... husband couldn't stop raving about it. This is the first time I have tried Big Daddy's receipes and I will keep coming back. Read more

wonderful
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made the carmalized onion/kraut separate from the sausage but served together; it was wonderful. Only thing missing was some... good German Hot Potato Salad. Will rectify that for future meals. Aaron, I was rooting for you the whole way. you done good, son.Read more
