SHEET-PAN KIELBASA WITH CABBAGE AND BEANS
This sheet-pan dinner of roasted kielbasa, caramelized cabbage and white beans marinated in a dill-and-red wine vinaigrette comes together in about a half-hour. There are many different types of kielbasa, but the smoked version typically found at American grocery stores is horseshoe-shaped and, when roasted, tastes a little like pepperoni. Feel free to play around with substitutions: You can use green or red cabbage for the Savoy, though the leaves won't get quite as frizzled and golden. Instead of dill, chives or parsley can bring freshness. Instead of shallot, use scallions, red-pepper flakes or grated garlic for sharp heat. Instead of mustard, you could use horseradish, chopped pickles or sauerkraut for briny acidity.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Add the cabbage to a rimmed baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper to coat. Arrange in an even layer, then scatter the kielbasa on top. Roast without flipping until cabbage is tender and charred in spots and the kielbasa is dark golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together 1/4 cup olive oil with the vinegar, dill, shallot, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the beans and stir to combine.
- Divide the cabbage and sausage among plates and spoon the beans and vinaigrette on top.

BLACK BEANS AND KIELBASA WITH RICE
I got this from a Taste of Home recipe that was actually for chili. It looked good, but it took a lot of time to prepare. I had black beans on hand and not a lot of time, so I revised it and came up with this quick and simple meal. My husband loved it!

BARBECUE KIELBASA AND BEANS
This is definitely one for those nights when you don't have much time to prepare dinner. It needs to bake for one hour but it's so fast to put together, that you could get it ready in the morning, and refrigerate until you get home, then just pop it in the oven. Very delicious and amazingly easy, what more could you ask for? From Heirloom Recipes, submitted my M.R. She suggests 2 pounds of kielbasa for 6 servings. I cut it down to one pound for us, but followed the rest of the recipe to have a fair amount of beans for a side dish. She also says you can make this in a slow cooker.

CURRIED KIELBASA AND BLACK BEANS
I know this sounds like an odd combination, but I've had this recipe for years and it's become a standard at our house. Everyone enjoys it. I got the original recipe from a magazine years ago, perhaps Cooking LIght, but it was such a long time ago that I'm no longer sure. This is my adaptation. It can be on the table in 20 minutes.
