Description

Ingredients

• 1 14oz package Hillshire Farm® Polska Kielbasa
• 1 2lb bag of sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
• 1 fuji apple, spiralized or grated
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, I used yellow, sliced thin
• pinch of salt
• pinch of sugar
• 5 slices of bacon, chopped
• 2 pretzel buns, of bun of your choosing
• cheddar or swiss cheese, mustard and any other additional toppings youd like.

Directions

• Add 2 cups each of sauerkraut and apple to a crock pot with brown sugar and apple cider vinegar.
• Cut Kielbasa in half and place in crockpot. Set on low and cook for 2 hours.
• Set a large pan over medium high heat and melt butter and oil together.
• When mixture has melted, add in your onions and stir to combine. Spread the onions out evenly throughout the pan so they all have surface contact.
• Turn down to medium or medium low depending on how fast your onions are cooking.
• Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add in a pinch of salt and sugar, stir to combine and continue to cook for 20 minutes.
• After 20 mins, add in bacon and continue to cook until bacon is cooked through.
• Assembly
• Place mustard on the bottom of your bun and top with apple sauerkraut mixture.
• Remove Polska Kielbasa and cut to the same length as your bun. Then cut in half lengthwise. (Youll most likely have leftover kielbasa, which is never a bad thing)
• Top with cheese and place in the broiler for a minute, keeping a close eye on it. It can burn quickly.
• When the cheese has melted, remove from broiler, top with bacon and onion mixture, top bun and enjoy!
