Ingredients

  • 32 ounce jar sauerkraut
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1/2 onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Drain and rinse the sauerkraut. Give it a light squeeze to remove most of the water. You don't want it bone dry. Mix the sauerkraut with the onion, bay leaf, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Put 1 cup of water in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Add the sauerkraut in a single layer on the bottom of the IP.
  • Cut the sausage into chunks and place it on top of the sauerkraut.
  • Seal the IP. Cook it on Pressure Cook high for 15 minutes.
  • Natural release for 10 minutes, then manual release. Enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Card Tips

  • Drain and squeeze the sauerkraut well before cooking. Skipping this step leaves the dish too wet or too sour.
  • Layer water, then sauerkraut, then sausage, in that order. It keeps everything from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
  • Check your bratwurst label for hidden starches or sugar. Not all sausage brands are created equal.
