Polish Kielbasa Casserole

1  lb Polish Kielbasa
1  pkg instant mashed potatoes (enough for 4 servings)
     (or 2 cups of homemade mashed potatoes)
1  can (15 oz) Sauerkraut, drained
1  tbsp minced Garlic
1  tbsp caraway seeds
1  tbsp dried Minced Onions (helps to thicken the
     potatoes/sauerkraut mixture)
Paprika

Prepare mashed potatoes according to package directions or by boiling potatoes and mashing them according to your liking. See note. Drain most of the liquid from sauerkraut. Stir together the mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, garlic, caraway seeds and dried minced onions*. Put Kielbasa in a baking dish and add the potato/sauerkraut mixture into the center of the dish. Sprinkle Paprika on the top. Put in oven and broil on low until golden brown.

* Note: Fresh onions can be used if wanted, makes sure that the potato/sauerkraut mixture is not too runny, the kielbasa will add juice to it. If using fresh onions you may want to make the potatoes thicker.

Note: Betty Crocker Four Cheese, Roasted Garlic or Roasted Garlic & Cheddar make it extra tasty.
