Tips:
- Prep the Kielbasa: Before baking, slice the kielbasa into rounds or half-moons for even cooking and a delightful caramelized texture.
- Sauté the Veggies: Sautéing the vegetables (onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms) in butter adds depth of flavor and prevents them from becoming soggy during baking.
- Use Quality Cheese: Opt for a combination of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses for a gooey, flavorful cheese pull.
- Layer Wisely: Layer the ingredients in the casserole dish in the following order: Kielbasa, veggies, cheese, and pasta. This ensures even distribution of flavors and textures.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown. Check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's cooked through.
