KIELBASA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• First, boil the kielbasa. Fill a large skillet with deep sides with water and bring it to a boil. Quarter the kielbasa ring and cook it in the boiling water for 30 minutes. Remove them to a cutting board when they are done and drain the water. Put the pan back on the heat and pour the sauerkraut in with its liquid. Let it heat up, then add the onion and two mustards. Season the mixture with the pinch of salt, then pour in the beer. Let the mixture cook for 3-5 minutes, until the liquid is pretty much gone. Stir in the cheddar cheese until it is melted, then take the pan off of the heat. Meanwhile, lightly toast the pretzel buns.
• Time to assemble! Cut each quarter of kielbasa in half horizontally to have 8 equal pieces. Then cut each of the pieces in half lengthwise to have a flat side to put on the sandwich. You'll have 16 pieces total. Place two pieces of kielbasa flat side down on the bottom bun, then spoon a generous scoop of the sauerkraut mixture on the kielbasa. Top that with 2 sandwich stacker pickles, then close the sandwich. Repeat until they are all assembled and serve immediately! They are so perfect for the big game.

KIELBASA GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Whisk the sugar and vinegar in a large bowl until the sugar dissolves, then whisk in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the coleslaw mix and herbs, season with salt and pepper and toss.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and cook until browned on both sides, 2 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Spread the mustard on the bread, then sandwich with half of the cheese, the kielbasa, jalapeno and the remaining cheese.
• Wipe out the skillet; add 1/2 tablespoon butter and melt over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches and press another large skillet on top. Cook, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts, 4 to 5 minutes per side, adding another 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet when you flip. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Serve with the coleslaw.

KILLER KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT ON KAISERS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high.
• Heat second skillet over medium heat with about a teaspoon of vegetable oil.

• Slice kaiser rolls, if they're not already, either in half lengthwise or butterflied. Broil for 1-2 minutes, open-faced, until toasted.

HOT, SWEET, AND SOUR GRILLED KIELBASA SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine sausage, bell peppers, onion, and jalapeno in a large bowl. Pour sweet and sour sauce on top and mix until vegetables are evenly coated.
• Layer 2 to 3 sheets of aluminum foil; transfer sausage and vegetables to the foil and wrap up tightly so that no liquid is able to leak out.
• Cook on the preheated grill until sausage is browned and no longer pink in the center and peppers and onions are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a sausage should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
