Steamed Kielbasa,Sauerkraut and Pierogies

 
This is from Family Circle January page 97.  The reason this caught my eye is that it combines 3 of my favorite things, as noted in the title.  I did not follow the recipe exactly.  I used the sausage pictured instead of the one in the recipe.  I also did not use only 7 of the mini pierogies, I used the whole box.
 
 
Kielbasa, mustard, onions, brown sugar and vinegar mixed together.
 

 Sauerkraut at the bottom of crock.


Sausage mix on top.
 

Disclaimer, I do NOT like mustard.  In fact, I hate mustard.  I went ahead and got the kind of mustard the recipe called for.  It actually wasn't that bad.  It works in the recipe.  Don't get me wrong, I don't plan on smearing this stuff all over my sandwiches...


All the kids in the pool.


After about 4 hours on high, add the pierogies.


On eating this right away... YUMMY!!!!!  Obviously I couldn't eat it all at once so I threw the leftovers in the fridge.


Day 2, still good, but a little tangy.


Day 3, very tangy and barely able to finish.

I'm going to do this again.  I think I'm going to double the sugar and leave out the cider vinegar.  The saurekraut has enough vinegar on it's own. I liked the mustard flavor but might cut that back a bit.

I also think eating this with some sour cream would cut some of the sourness.  Also might add a can of diced tomatoes.
