Recipe Tips
- The polish sausage can be replaced with some regular pork sausages or Italian sausages. Both will work fine, but I highly recommend that you pick up some kielbasa.
- If you’re not a fan of beer, then this can be swapped for something like chicken stock or water.
- I recommend using a lager beer, but you can swap it to something more to your liking. Just keep in mind a heavier beer such as stout, may not work as nicely.
- The brown sugar is important as it helps takes a bit of the bitterness away from the sauerkraut and beer.
- If you're not a fan of sauerkraut, you can try replacing this with just regular cabbage. This substitution will make the dish less bitter and might appeal to more people.
- You don't need to have this dish with any extra side dishes as it is perfect on its own. I do sometimes like to have it with some fresh bread so I can soak up all those tasty juices.
