Crockpot Sausage and Sauerkraut

Ingredients needed to make Crockpot Sausage and Sauerkraut:

You will need:

• baby carrots
• red potatoes
• sauerkraut
• vegan bratwurst sausage – I used Beyond Meat Bratwurst
• white onion
• garlic
• dry white wine – Vegan chicken-style broth also works well.
• ground black pepper
• fennel seeds

How to make Crockpot Sausage and Sauerkraut:

STEP ONE: Brown the sausage. Into a large skillet over medium-high heat, add sausage slices in an even layer. Cook until browned on both sides. Remove sausage from pan and set aside. Leave drippings in the pan.

STEP TWO: Add garlic. Into the skillet used for the sausage, add onion and saute 2 minutes, to soften. Add garlic and continue cooking an additional 1 minute.

STEP THREE: Add wine and seasonings. Add white wine, ground black pepper, and fennel seeds. Bring just to a boil then remove from heat.

STEP FOUR: Layer into the crockpot. Into a 6-quart slow cooker, add baby carrots in a single layer. Add cubed potatoes over the carrots. Cover the potatoes with sauerkraut.

STEP FIVE: Over the sauerkraut layer, add the sliced sausage. Pour wine and onion mixture over the top.

STEP SIX: Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, or until potatoes are tender then serve hot.
