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

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.
