Ingredients

• 1 pound kielbasa sausage
• 2 cups sauerkraut
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 4 Kaiser rolls
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and set them aside.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, sauerkraut, light brown sugar, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Step 6

In a separate skillet over medium-high heat, fry the kielbasa slices until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer the kielbasa to the sauerkraut mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Slice the Kaiser rolls in half and toast them lightly on a baking sheet in the oven, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and whole grain mustard. Spread the mustard mixture evenly on the bottom halves of the toasted Kaiser rolls.

Step 10

Layer each Kaiser roll with the sauerkraut-kielbasa mixture and a slice of provolone cheese.

Step 11

Place the assembled sandwiches back into the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 12

Remove from the oven, add the top halves of the Kaiser rolls, and serve hot. Enjoy your Killer Kielbasa and Sauerkraut on Kaisers!
