Hi Ladies,
I am always working to keep our grocery bill within a managable budget. Bratts-n-Kraut served with potato hash is a penny pinching meal that is sure to satisfy and will be on the table within 20-25 minutes. The recipe below serves 3-4, but can easily be doubled or trippled.
Bratts -N- Kraut
(3 servings)
2 Bratwurst Sausages
1 14oz. can sauerkraut, drained & rinsed well (note: the more you rinse it the less sour it will be)
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. butter
In medium skillet, over medium heat melt butter. Add sliced onion and bratts. Cover skillet and "steam", turning bratts and stirring onions occasionally until bratts are cooked through, approximately 10 minutes. Slice bratts into 1" pieces. Add sauerkraut, sugar, and pepper mix well. Continue to cook over medium heat, uncovered, until sauerkraut is heated through.
Potato Hash
(3 servings)
3 potatoes, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 tbsp. oil or bacon grease
salt & pepper to taste
Heat bacon grease in skillet (I prefer cast iron for this dish). Add potatoes, onions and carrots. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to weep (edges begin to sweat and turn translucent). Cover to trap steam. Cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until potatoes are tender. Season with salt & pepper.
Cost Breakdown:
2 Bratts - 1.40
1 can Sauerkraut - 1.09
1 Onion - 0.37
3 Potatoes - 0.39
1 Carrot - .0.14
Total: $3.39 or only $1.13 per person
