Put the cold butter in a cold pan with the diced onion, and slowly bring to a simmer on medium heat.

This brings out the sweetness of the onions.

Simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add minced garlic and simmer 2 more minutes.

Add next 3 ingredients.

Combine with the sauerkraut (undrained and not rinsed), kielbasa and potatoes.

Bring to a simmer on the stove top.

Cover loosely with foil and place in a preheated 225°F oven for 3 hours.
