He does enjoy some German food and this is one that he inspired me to make as he likes all of the ingredients and is such an encouragement to my "experiments" in the kitchen.
This recipe can be made in a stock pot and cooked slowly for a few hours or it can be prepared in your crock pot. I prefer to make this on the stove top so the potatoes don't get too mushy. If you do decide on the crockpot, I'd cook it on low only and for about 6 hours.
I also prepared this with plain sauerkraut (no caraway seeds) and turkey smoked sausage or kielbasa (whichever one is on sale). I experimented with sweet potatoes for me in an effort to keep this lower carb. They were surprisingly good in this recipe. They took on the flavor of the broth and sauerkraut and honey, who hates sweet potatoes, took a bit and said they WERE good!
Of course, I do not know how to cook small, so my ingredients probably made 6 - 8 portions. But I love leftovers. Dinner is made for tomorrow and possibly Wednesday's lunch.

Ingredients
2 cans of plain sauerkraut
1 large sweet potato chunked
3 medium potatoes chunked
1 medium sweet onion sliced
2 packages turkey or plain kielbasa (smoked sausage) chunked
1 tbsp better than bullion (chicken)
1 mug of warm water to dissolve the bullion a bit.
1 bottle of beer
1 tbsp EVOO
Drizzle the EVOO into the stock pot and add the onion and kielbasa. Cook on medium heat for a few minutes to soften the onion slightly brown the kielbasa.
Add the potatoes, sauerkraut, beer, and bullion.
Place a lid on your pot and cook on low for a few hours (until the potatoes are firm but cooked) or on medium low for about 30-45 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy!
