Instant Pot Kielbasa, Sauerkraut, and Potato
Ingredients:
2 slices bacon
2 pounds fresh kielbasa, sliced into 2-inch pieces
1 medium sweet onion, diced
¼ cup dark brown sugar
3 large yellow potatoes, chopped
2 (16 ounce) packages sauerkraut, drained
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 apple – peeled, cored, and diced
½ cup beer
½ teaspoon sea salt
Directions:
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add bacon; cook until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Pull bacon out with tongs and set in a bowl. Add kielbasa to the pot; lightly brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove with tongs and place in the bowl with the bacon.
Saute onions in the pot until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Crumble the bacon and add to the pot. Stir in brown sugar. Add potatoes, sauerkraut, chicken broth, apple, beer, and salt. Mix gently.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method for 10 minutes according to manufacturer’s instructions. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Unlock and remove the lid.
