Spaetzle, Sauerkraut, and Sausage Bake
Ingredients List
-
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
-
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
3 eggs
-
⅓ cup water
-
2 slices bacon, diced
-
½ large onion, chopped
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 small Gala apple, cored and chopped
-
2 tablespoons brown sugar
-
1 (16 ounce) package sauerkraut
-
1 (16 ounce) package kielbasa sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a metal colander with oil.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add eggs and water, then pour the mixture into the flour. Stir until a dough forms.
-
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the dough into the oiled colander, and set it over the boiling water. Use a spatula to push the dough through the colander’s holes into the water. Stir the spaetzle as they cook. When they float to the surface (about 5 minutes), scoop them out and place them in an ungreased 9x9-inch baking dish.
-
Place the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the bacon crisps up, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan. In the same pan, sauté the onions until browned, about 10 minutes.
-
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apple and brown sugar, cooking until the apple softens, about 5 minutes. Add the bacon, onions, and sauerkraut to the skillet and stir frequently until the flavors meld, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauerkraut mixture over the spaetzle in the baking dish.
-
Place the kielbasa pieces in a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sausage is hot and no longer pink. Add the sausage to the casserole dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling.
