EasyBavarian Dinner
Layered Bavarian sauerkraut and Polish kielbasa slow-cooked all day with onion and celery seed — a hearty, hands-off Central European dinner.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the beer, water, onions, and kielbasa. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook covered for 25 minutes.
Remove the sausage, cool slightly, and slice into 1-inch pieces. Reserve the cooking liquid.
In a large sauté pan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid, whisking until smooth.
Stir in the white vinegar and sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Return the kielbasa to the sauce and heat through. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
