For the poor student who arrives home late in the evening and famished, sauerkraut is a great easy dinner fix.  These days it seems I rarely have time to toil away over a sumptuous stew or sauce, but am instead confined to all things crock pot.

Chop and Combine in crock-pot:

1 Kielbasa or similar sausage
1 lb carrots
1 lb potato
2 cans sauerkraut
Water to keep from boiling dry (1-2 Cups)

Set to cook (8 hours for me) and forget about it till you arrive home and famished.   We ate this with homemade bread and sharp mustard (and beer, of course!).
