Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Add bacon; cook until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Pull bacon out with tongs and place into a bowl. Add kielbasa to the pot; lightly brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove with tongs and place into the bowl with bacon.
Step 2
Sauté onion in the pot until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Crumble bacon and add to the pot. Stir in brown sugar. Add potatoes, sauerkraut, chicken broth, apple, beer, and salt. Mix gently.
Step 3
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 4
Release pressure using the natural-release method for 10 minutes according to the manufacturer's instructions, then release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method. Unlock and remove the lid.
