Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh bratwurst sausages
• 6 slices bacon
• 16 ounces sauerkraut
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 large potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, then toss them with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden and tender.

Step 3

In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until they are crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, place on paper towels to drain, and crumble once cooled.

Step 4

In the same skillet with the residual bacon grease, sear the bratwurst sausages on all sides until they are browned, about 5 minutes total. Remove the bratwurst from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add butter to the skillet and melt it over medium heat. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the caraway seeds, smoked paprika, and whole grain mustard, cooking for 1 minute to release the flavors. Add the sauerkraut and chicken broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Let simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the sauerkraut mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the seared bratwurst sausages on top of the sauerkraut mixture. Scatter the roasted potatoes and crumbled bacon evenly over the dish.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to crisp slightly.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
