You can bake it in the oven (this is how it is cooked the day of the
Verboort Dinner) or you can cook it in a fry pan.

OVEN:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Place sausage in a baking dish with a small amount of water to cover the
bottom of the pan, about 1/3” deep.  You can either cover the sausage or leave
 uncovered, but monitor the baking process so the sausage does not burn dry. Add water if necessary.

Bake for 30 - 45 minutes.  The sausage will appear somewhat brighter and
darker in color, this is a good indication it is cooked.
 

FRY PAN:
Place sausage in a fry pan with a small amount of water covering the
bottom of the pan. (~1/3”)  Cover the pan and place on a Med-High burner and
 simmer 10- 15 minutes.  Rotate the sausage so the top portion is now on the bottom
of the fry pan (if needed, add small amounts of water to keep the sausage
from running dry).   Simmer an additional 10 - 15 minutes.

** Cut into serving portions and place on platter next to our special
Dutch Verboort Sauerkraut (cooked separately from the sausage).

Enjoy ...

One of our guests suggests that substituting your favorite beer for the water gives the sausage a great taste.
Give it a try next time  you are looking for a change of pace.
