A quick and hearty skillet dish featuring savory kielbasa, tangy sauerkraut, and sweet Dijon glaze. Perfect for a comforting meal in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 14–16 ounces kielbasa
  • 16 ounces sauerkraut (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or coarse brown mustard)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Set a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  2. Cut the kielbasa into 2-inch segments (or leave whole if serving on rolls).
  3. Push onions to the side and add kielbasa pieces in a single layer. Sear, turning occasionally, for 4–5 minutes while stirring the onions.
  4. Add sauerkraut, Dijon mustard, honey, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine. Add 1–3 tablespoons of water if needed for mixing.
  5. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until heated through. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use brown sugar instead of honey for a deeper sweetness.
  • Serve with crusty bread or on hoagie rolls for a sandwich variation.
  • Rinsing sauerkraut reduces its sharpness; skip rinsing for a stronger flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
