Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes, halved
1 pound kielbasa
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small head broccoli, florets roughly chopped
1 cup sauerkraut, drained
2/3 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Put the potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl and add 3 tablespoons water; cover with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the kielbasa into 4 equal pieces; halve lengthwise. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and heated through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Increase the heat under the skillet to medium high; add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add the broccoli and 1/4 cup water and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the sauerkraut and toss to warm through.
Drain the potatoes. Warm the milk in the microwave, about1 minute; add to the potatoes along with the mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Coarsely mash with a potato masher or fork. Serve the kielbasa with the potatoes and the broccoli.

HAWAIIAN KIELBASA

NOTE: This recipe has been revamped due to the reviews. Everyone has said it's REALLY sweet. I did some playing and decided that depending on your baked beans, you probably don't need all that sugar (especially if feeding this to the kids. Too much will give them a high they may never come down off of!) Give this dish a try for something different and delicious! It's also easy-it's made in a crock pot! This recipe serves 4, but is easily doubled to feed a crowd.
