Sauerkraut and Sausage
I suppose it's the inspiration of the Fall season that sparked this lunch of sauerkraut and sausage. Or maybe it's the two Octoberfest celebrations we've been to in September where the smells of the sausage, brats and more were just intoxicatingly mesmerizing. And, yes, we forked over $5-7 bucks for just one big grilled slammin' good brat with sauerkraut and worth every penny of it!
Using pre-packaged (refrigerated) sauerkraut that's well done, like Boar's Head, makes this recipe so simple. Just add a few spices and herbs to it, and you've got something that lip smackin', mouth watering, tart tingly boholicious. No need to get fancy or extravagant. Some good mustard, a grilled sausage or brat, and you're in business. Actually, I could have used some good ol' fried taters as a side!
Easy Weeknight Dinners for Two

And, if you're cooking for just two, it can become even more of a challenge. That's why this Italian sausage and sauerkraut is one of the best easy weeknight dinners for two that you can make.
Healthy Filling Dinners
What makes this meal so filling and healthy is that is good protein with the sauerkraut which is full of nutrition. Don't get the heat too high when you're adding in your sauerkraut. High heat will kill off the good probiotics that are naturally in the saurerkraut. According to Living Goodness, "Although heat does kill the good bacteria living in your sauerkraut, it only happens at 46°C (115°F). So if you're cooking at a very, very low temperature, you should still retain a large amount of these probiotics."
And, if you can find refrigerated saurerkraut, then go for that versus canned. There are lots of options out there. Here are just a few.
