I hate to be the one giving a bad review, but this did not float my boat at all. Surprisingly, my bf enjoyed it though (huh?). Despite my disappointment, I must admit that Joalyce's recipe smelled DELISH while cooking (I was home all day while my car was at the auto shop). I have cooked Polish sausage in my slow cooker before with great results. This time, my sausage (I purchased pre-cooked Hilshire Farms smoked kielbasa by mistake - I should have purchased it fresh...) had a wierd texture (almost mushy), was a very unappealing dark brown color and was partially burnt! Ironically, my veggies didn't burn at all.... Additionally, I could barely eat one bowlful of this because of the bitter aftertaste. I wasn't expecting a sweet taste, but I wasn't expecting a bitter taste either. I think at least one of the problems I encountered could be alleviated by cooking on low for 6-7 hours as opposed to 8-9 as instructed (my sausage, apple and kraut recipe cooks perfectly in this amount of time). To satisfy my hunger, I bulked up on the rye bread I served with dinner (which filled me up, but left me sorely unsatisfied). Oh well. Maybe this will work for someone else. Thanks for sharing your idea anyways Joalyce :)
