A hearty and comforting meal, perfect for fall or winter! This tasty one-pan recipe was passed along to me by my father years ago, and I've adapted it to my family's tastes. Leftovers are wonderful, so it's a great make-ahead dish as well. I hope you enjoy.
SERVES 4 -6
Ingredients:
6 slices bacon, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 medium new potatoes, washed, scrubbed, and sliced thin
6 carrots, sliced thin
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup celery, sliced thin
1/4 cup butter
1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained (optional)
1 lb smoked polska kielbasa, sliced in 1/2 inch pieces
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. In a dutch oven or large skillet, fry diced bacon until crisp, then remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. In bacon drippings, fry onion, potatoes, carrots, broccoli and celery over medium-low heat until tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
3. Season with salt and pepper and add butter, the drained sauerkraut if using, and the kielbasa slices.
4. Cover and cook on low heat until hot, about 15 minutes.
5. Top with crumbled crisp bacon right before serving.
