For a richer flavor, brown the kielbasa in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. Experiment with different types of beer to find your favorite flavor combination. A darker beer will impart a more robust flavor. Add a tablespoon of caraway seeds for an extra layer of flavor that complements both the sauerkraut and kielbasa. This dish is even better the next day! Refrigerate leftovers and gently reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
