Sauerkraut, Spare Ribs, and Kielbasa

I think Maggie is a bit unsure of the ribs...
I don’t think she likes the strong smell of this dish. Or is it just a side eye? Not sure but this dish can give off a different smell for our animals. After three hours of cooking, your entire house can smell of spare ribs and sauerkraut!


I spy with my little eye something yummy

Although I’m not a fan of sauerkraut, I think my dad would love this recipe! And I’m siding with Maggie, I hate the smell of sauerkraut in the house, so I may go over to my dad’s house and make it for him! Lol…
ha haa! We don’t like it either but I’m sure your dad will love it! Maggie and Jake were not fans of the smell but Mr. TAL loved it 🙂
Not a fan. Competing meat flavors(just use 1 meat or the other?) No sugar with kielbasa. Family didn’t like it.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate you trying the recipe and commenting.
I love the fragrance of sauerkraut cooking. I put this in the crockpot as I don’t have a nice heavy pot to cook in yet.
This was the first time I added kielbasa to the ribs and kraut and it was a hit! Thank you for a great recipe!
You are so welcome. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe. Happy New Year.
So good!! Made this with my dad this new years using brown sugar substitute, turkey kielbasa and baby back ribs to make lighter. It’s delicious! You’re the only recipe I could find that uses kielbasa and ribs together (how we like it) so thanks!
Awh I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe. Your substitutes sound so good. Happy New Year!
How many does this feed?
Hello Mary Jo, the kielbasa will feed approximately 6-8 people depending on how long you cut the pieces. I used round buns so mine were cut short/medium in length. The spare ribs will feed up to 4 people depending on how many ribs they eat. The ribs I chose were meaty. This was for me and my husband and we had leftovers for a few days. I hope this helps.
Do you beef or pork ribs?
I use pork ribs. I have also made this with a pork tenderloin as well.
