EASY KIELBASA SKILLET DINNER

Easy Kielbasa Skillet Dinner image

The house always smells awesome while this very tasty, filling meal is cooking. It makes kielbasa worth stocking up on when it goes on sale and uses basic/cheap ingredients overall. Vary the vegetables depending on what you have on hand. For example add/replace broccoli with a can of corn and/or peas, etc. If you like a little heat, sprinkle a little hot sauce on top after it's cooked. This should make about 4 servings, but it almost always turns out to be split into 2 large servings between the me and the boyfriend. We like to crisp up/brown the kielbasa slightly before adding the vegetables.

This is also great served with cooked rice in place of the noodles, you may increase the sausage amount if desired, any dry smoked sausage will do fine for this recipe, the Parmesan is only optional I like to add it in, if you have any cold cooked leftover potatoes, cube them and throw them in too :)

Tips:

Choose the right kielbasa: Look for a smoked kielbasa that is firm and has a deep red color. Avoid kielbasa that is too soft or has a slimy texture.
Slice the kielbasa thinly: This will help it cook evenly and avoid overcooking.
Use a large skillet: This will give the cabbage and kielbasa plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
Cook the cabbage until it is tender: This will take about 10-12 minutes. Stir the cabbage frequently to prevent it from burning.
Add the kielbasa and cook until it is browned: This will take about 5-7 minutes. Stir the kielbasa frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Season the dish with salt and pepper: Taste the dish and add more seasoning if needed.
Serve the dish immediately: Kielbasa and cabbage is best served hot.
