Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 (20-ounce) can tomato sauce
3 1/2 pounds cabbage, chopped
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 teaspoon salt
2 (14-ounce) cans beef broth

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet brown the beef over medium heat; drain. In a large mixing bowl combine the onion, tomato sauce, cabbage, rice, and salt. Add the cooked meat and mix well. Pour the mixture into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Pour the beef broth over the meat mixture, cover, and bake for 1 hour. Stir, replace the cover, and bake for another 30 minutes.

1 (24-ounce) can sauerkraut
1 (8-ounce) jar applesauce

1 (12-ounce) can or bottle beer

Directions

Combine the sauerkraut and applesauce in a slow cooker. Arrange the kielbasa on top. Pour the beer over all. Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. Serve as a main dish with mashed potatoes or as a sandwich on hard rolls.

**Thoughts~Drain the sauerkraut! I didn't do this, and there was too much liquid. It was still very tasty though. I give this quick and easy meals two thumbs up!**
