Beer and Brown Sugar Kielbasa and Sauerkraut

1 (12 oz.) bottle of beer (I used an Ale)

1 cup of brown sugar

2 lbs. kielbasa

1 (32 oz.) bag or can of sauerkraut

In a small saucepan dissolve the sugar into the beer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Cut the kielbasa into sandwich size portions. Place into a 4 qt. crock pot.

Drain the sauerkraut and add it to the pot.

Pour the beer reduction over the sauerkraut, cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
