Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer festival and traveling funfair. Held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, it is a 16-day folk festival that runs from mid or late September to the first weekend in October. More than 6 million people from around the world attend the event every year.

People drink beer and eat dishes like Oktoberfest Special Käsespätzle (cheese noodles)

Oktoberfest Sauerkraut

 

This is the easiest and most perfect dish you could possibly make for the occasion. It takes literally 5 minutes to prepare it in the old slow cooker. That’s my kind of meal!

The saltiness of the sauerkraut goes great with an ice cold glass of Beck’s and a slice of buttered rye bread.

Oktoberfest Slow Cooker Special Dinner

Oktober Fest Beer Festival Sauerkraut, German Sausages and Potatoes made in the Crock-Pot. Easy and Delicious!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 7 hours
Total Time 7 hours 10 minutes
Course Main
Cuisine European
Servings 6 serves

Ingredients
  

  • 4 14-oz cans Bavarian style sauerkraut (I like Frank’s sweet Bavarian style with caraway seeds)
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 26 ounces- 2 pounds kielbasa sausage precooked and cut into 3 inch pieces
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed

Instructions
 

  • In bottom of stoneware, layer 2 cans of sauerkraut (with juices from can) half of the onion slices, ¼ teaspoon celery seed, and half of the sausage pieces.
  • Repeat for the next layer.
  • Cover and cook on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 6-8 hours.
  • Serve with a slotted spoon.

Notes

Variation: The sauerkraut can make this a very salty dish. To cut back on the amount of salt, if desired- drain and rinse the sauerkraut and replace the sauerkraut liquid with 2 cups of water or 2 cups of German beer.
I’m pretty sure sauerkraut is a love/hate type of food. I personally love the Bavarian style sauerkraut, and I always eat some right out of the can when I make this dish.

How about “exotic” dishes from time to time?
