This slow cooker kielbasa and sauerkraut recipe is the dinner to make when you only have a few minutes to prep. It’s delicious, filling, and an easy and healthy slow cooker meal that you can just dump and go.

I’m so excited to partner with Garrett Valley Farms on another recipe. Their sausages are made with high-quality ingredients and are so incredibly delicious!

Just like my fried cabbage and sausage recipe, the smoked kielbasa I use here comes from Garrett Valley Farms. I love their sausages because they are made from premium cuts of pork that are raised humanely and never given antibiotics. It’s smoked over hardwood and seasoned with real spices. And it makes this easy kielbasa and sauerkraut recipe the BEST!

How To Make Kielbasa And Sauerkraut In A Crock Pot

• Layer kielbasa. Place Garrett Valley Farms Smoked Kielbasa into slow cooker.

• Add brown sugar. Add onions on top of kielbasa. Sprinkle brown sugar substitute over onions.

FYI: If you are not sugar-free, you can use regular brown sugar. But this natural brown sugar substitute tastes just like the real thing, so it’s great for anyone watching their sugar intake, even if don’t have any special restrictions.

• Top with sauerkraut, tomatoes and broth. Layer on the drained sauerkraut and diced tomatoes, followed by chicken broth.

• Cook. Cook in slow cooker for 2-3 hours on High or 4-6 hours on Low.
