Sauerkraut — Rinse the sauerkraut before cooking to reduce its sourness if desired.
Kranjska Klobasa — If you can't find Kranjska Klobasa sausages, you can substitute with any high-quality smoked sausage.

Tips & Tricks

For a smokier flavor, grill the sausages instead of baking them.
Serve the dish with crusty bread to soak up the delicious mustard sauce.
Add a dollop of sour cream on top for extra creaminess.
If you prefer a spicier sauce, use whole grain mustard instead of Dijon.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, as the flavors develop even more.
