This looks / sounds good. Do you drain the saurkraut first??

 

[sophirlipopette]

Oh that sounds so good right now! It is FREEZING here in FL tonight. I wish I had the ingredients, but I am running out to the Polish Deli on Saturday to pick up some real kielbasi YUM! I alsp prefer the bagged kraut to the canned. Much fresher taste, (to me anyway).

Thanks OP! :stir:

yeah, I too prefer the bagged one but on a super tight budget, Aldi's 80 cent can sure does sound interresting lol
