COLORFUL KIELBASA

I used to make this all of the time. Switching veggies to broccoli, and sometimes browning the kielbasa and onions to enhance flavors. This one skillet meal is really versatile. If you don't like mushrooms, don't use them. I have also switched out the soups and used cream of mushroom...it's a very forgiving recipe..make sure you...
