Noni’s Italian Sauerkraut
2 packages (14 ounces each) Hillshire Farms Kielbasa Polish Sausage
1 large onion, diced
4 teaspoons minced garlic
4 jars (32 ounces each) sauerkraut
3 cans (10.75 ounces each) chicken broth (undiluted)
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Place the sauerkraut in a colander and rinse well with water to get all the brine out of it. Allow it to sit for a while in the colander to drain.
Cut the kielbasa into 1/2 inch disc coins. Place these in a large skillet with some olive oil to brown. When done, take the sausage out of the skillet and brown the diced onions in the leftover sausage grease and drippings. Sauté until lightly browned.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for one more minute. Add the sausage back in. Stir in the sauerkraut, chicken broth, tomato sauce, and the cinnamon. Simmer over low heat for at least one hour. Stir often. Add a fourth can of chicken broth if the sauerkraut cooks dry.
The longer it cooks the better it gets and is better when eaten the next day so that the flavor is blended well.

Hi Tom and Melissa. Yum!😊
Recipe looks delicious…however, it’s just me. How would you make this recipe without having to make so much?
This looks amazing! I love sauerkraut! Gotta try this! Thanks, Tom and Melissa for bringing us this recipe! ❤️🤗
Big ole pile of mashed potatoes and white beans……YUMMY! I make my sauerkraut very similar to this recipe….I don't put tomato sauce though, If it isn't bavarian sauerkraut I will add a bit of sugar or apples and caraway seed.
I love this recipe Michelle, your Noni knew what she was doing 😊 being of German heritage, anything using sauerkraut is already a favorite in my book! Thanks as always for bringing another unique and delicious recipe to the table guys ❤
Gosh this looked delicious. Love sauerkraut especially with caraway seeds. Thanks for sharing, have a great week.
Yummy. V-8 juice might be good in it
Hello Tom and Melissa!
I made cut up hotdogs and sauerkraut with cheddar on top today too
A little bit different but so delicious!
I'll have to try your recipe! Have a blessed Sunday! 🙏🏻💕
I think allspice would be good in this, too—with or without cinnamon.
It’s so nice you give your wife the first bite! 😊
I use smoked sausage only in my sauerkraut and sausage.
I hope this turns out good for whoever makes it. Very unusual ingredients.
No disrespect but I’m Italian American and I never heard of this recipe. This is not Italian cuisine but I’m sure it’s delicious 👍🏻
Instead of grease… maybe Fat..
I wish I could see the ingredient packaging from her day and compare it to what we have today to see how each item is different.
I love sauerkraut we make our own now
You could do so many things with that pork neckbones, pork chops, pork steak oh yeah, you could do a lot of different things
I can see how that would be comfort food. I'm a huge fan of both sauerkraut and smoked sausage. I'm making that but I'll have to cut the recipe in half. I bet the leftovers are over the top delicious.
I would rather be thrown into the burning fiery furnace than have to eat sauerkraut
This is so very interesting. Please tell how did the cinnamon taste in this dish? I'm so curious 😊
I looked Noni up online to find the correct pronunciation and found both NAH knee and NOH knee are acceptable. I grew up pronouncing it NOH knee. In fact, I want to name my next little female dog/cat “Noni Rose”. I’m skeptical about this dish, but I do love sauerkraut. I grew up eating sauerkraut with sausage or ribs and kluski. Mother was Polish. I’m very curious. Thanks for sharing. My aunt Cisa Bandoni never made such a dish. She was from northern Italy and was a marvelous cook and a beautiful blond blue-eyed Italian. I will be trying this, but I will definitely cut in half or even 4ths. Rather that a ring of sausage I’ll buy the bun size links. I trust Johnsonville. It’s what I buy since I can no longer shop at the butcher I grew up with. He made smoked and unsmoked Polish and delicious potato sausage. Yummy.
I love this recipe, very much like my Grandma and Grandpa's recipe. Must be maybe some German decent.🎉
Where did you get the lid popper? I really need one of those! Thanks in advance! Love your videos!
Can't wait to make this . I love kraut. I want to make my own kraut soon. ❤
Do not over rinse the kraut!
Made my mouth water when you were tasting. I am going to make this for sure!
I never had sauerkraut but that looks delicious 😋 have a blessed night Tom and Melissa 🙏🏻💖
Hey Tom an Melissa,this looks really good. Will be trying this. We also like Sauerkraut cooked down in Sweet relish an onions an just a little sugar mixed together and cook it for a little bit until it is really tender , an put it over the top of your hotdogs, really good. An it's also good as a side dish for your peas.. Thank y'all an Blessings always.
This sounds fantastic. I love kraut no matter how it's prepared. I have questions. The first is could you taste the cinnamon and, if so, how strong was it? What is that neat gadget you used to open the jars and where did you get it? I love your show and how well you present and explain the recipes. I look forward to the next one!
Looks good❤❤❤❤
Hello Tom and Melissa! I’m curious what the cinnamon is going to taste like with this dish! What kind of jar opener did you just used? I need one of those. Please and I appreciate it and I thank you 😊
Hi!!! This is really a different kind of recipe. I'm a fan of Sauerkraut…I would give this a try one day. I always use the bag Sauerkraut…Nice Video!!!…🦋
2,800LeaderBoard Points And a Very Delicious Smoked sausage & Sauerkraut & chopped Onions and Jarlic ohh my this most certainly going on my grocery list and Thank you to The Sweet Lady who sent you the Recipe Tom and Melissa ❤❤❤
Noni is probably watching!
That jar opener is funky! I don't believe I've ever seen/heard of such a jar opener.
Three servings!? Tom! How could you!? 🤣
I don't have sauerkraut very often. When I do it's just sauerkraut – not made into anything else. I'm gon' save this one.
I’m excited about this one!!!! I love love love sauerkraut!!!!
I aways rinse my kraut so the flavor mellows. My husband loves kraut, but I only tolerate it (like on a reuben). I will make this for my husband, he will be thrilled. **I love your viewer recipe videos
This looks so good! I only cook for one and this one is for a platoon! I can figure out how to cut this down. Thank you! and thank you Noni:)
That's a solid no for me.
Should of used a bigger pot
Already had 3 helpings! Lol. Thanks for making that one and thanks to Michelle for supplying this great looking dish.
That looks and sounds so good, Thanks for sharing this recipe with Tom and Melissa so they would share it with everyone. Great preperation Tom and Milissa, Keep up the great videos and recipes you share with us. Fred and family.
I don't typically eat sauerkraut but with the added ingredients I'll try this. Thanks for sharing.
I love Sauerkraut. I love polish sausage. I expect I will love this dish.🙂🙂
This Noni's Italian Sauerkraut recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom.
I love this dish. I make something very similar.
I’ll have to try that looks delicious
