Thumbing through lists of recipes to find new things and interesting things to try, I often stumble across dishes that are old and simple, or that represent a certain heritage or part of history. This one falls along those lines. It's a simple meal that comes from eastern Europe, and contains tastes that I've read have been familiar and comforting to many generations. I found it very much the same when I tried it... a very filling dish with subtle but comfortable flavors that will be pleasing to just about everyone.

Spread the sauerkraut evenly along the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer the potatoes on top of the sauerkraut, followed by layering the sausage on top of the potatoes.
In a small bowl combine the chicken broth, caraway seeds, and bay leaf and stir together. Pour the mixture over the top of the sausage in the slow cooker.
Set the slow cooker on High for 4 hours. At the end of cooking, remove the bay leaf and mix the contents thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
