My sister whipped this up for a BBQ, and everyone wanted the recipe!

This Slow Cooker Herb-Infused Polish Sausage, Sauerkraut, and Potatoes with Apples is a delightful twist on a classic dish that many of us in the Midwest have grown up enjoying. The combination of savory sausage, tangy sauerkraut, and hearty potatoes is made even more comforting with the addition of sweet apples and aromatic herbs. It’s a perfect meal for those chilly days when you want something warm and satisfying. Plus, using a slow cooker makes it incredibly convenient for busy families.

This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or steamed green beans to add a fresh element to your meal. A crusty loaf of bread or some warm dinner rolls are perfect for soaking up the flavorful broth. For a complete meal, consider serving it with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a light cucumber salad to balance the richness of the sausage and sauerkraut.
