Hi all. I had some sausage at a gathering a couple weeks ago that I'd like to try to make . It was a fresh not smoked sausage that had sauerkraut in it. Very nice soft texture with an underlying cabbage kraut flavor. Anyone have a recipe for one they've made?

I love sauerkraut and sausage, I'm in on this...

Marianski and Poli both have Krautwurst formulas on their websites .

I made a batch a couple of years ago. I could not taste the kraut and the cabbage strings in the meat was barely noticeable. Don't know the recipe used as I cannot find my notes.

Krautwurst & Kielbasa...with MANY pix

I thought I'd try something different. I made a 2-gallon batch of homemade sauerkraut about a month ago and 30 days later, it's ready to eat. Good stuff! It goes great with all kinds of sausage. But I wanted to make sausage with it... I cam across this recipe for 'Krautwurst' on Len Poli's...

Thanks. Sounds like the flavor profile that we had. I'm going to try this in a couple weeks . I made some saurkraut about 6 weeks ago so ill use some of that. Might run it through the grinder as well.

oh boy, that sounds good. I made some one time with saurkraut and bratwurst added some swiss cheese, came out great., a little juicy but spot on.

Now that sounds good !
I made a " brat melt " once . Split brats , Swiss cheese and kraut on grilled rye . Pretty good . I bet all in a sausage would be awesome .
Not the best pictures ,

Went double stack . Single would be better .

So I made the krautwurst recipe from lpoli website with a couple changes. I ground the meat finer than called for ..... I left out the garlic powder i love garlic but to me i find it usually overpowers sausage and it ends up being all i taste i know others will disagree...left out the juniper berries because I wasn't going to buy some for 5lbs of sausage.....I cut back the salt by 1tsp because the bacon in the recipe adds salt and it ended up good to my taste. I will definitely make this again. Really great flavor. As hoity toit mentioned it ends up a little too wet so ill drain the sauerkraut better next time. Perhaps let it sit in the colander longer and even squeeze it out.
