Kielbasa

[jewels]

Need a recipe. Went to the Hillshire Farm site and didn't find anything that looked remotely good. Remember a picky 7 year old has to eat it!

Not sure how well this will go over but we make this for cookouts all the time and the kids love it.

Quick Cajun Skillet recipe

1 cup long-grain rice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 large onion (about 1 cup chopped)
1 large green bell pepper (about 1 1/2 cup chopped)
8 ounces kielbasa
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1 teaspoon Cajun-style seasoning blend
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced seasoned tomatoes (I USE ROTEL)
1 (8 ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans

Bring 2 cups of unsalted water to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Add the rice, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 17 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil on medium in an extra-deep, 12-inch, nonstick skillet. Peel and coarsely chop the onion, adding it to the skillet as you chop. Rinse and seed the bell pepper, and cut it into bite-size pieces. Add it to the skillet. Raise the heat to medium-high.

Cut the kielbasa link in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/4 -inch slices, adding them to the skillet as you cut. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes or until the onions are tender and begin to brown. While the sausage cooks, add the garlic and Cajun seasoning.

Stir in the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Rinse and drain the beans and add them to the skillet. Stir and simmer until the beans are hot. Serve at once over a bed of hot, steamed rice. Serves 4.

note: This recipe is flexible, but onions, garlic, basil and/or oregano are nice.

Coca-Cola Glazed Kielbasa recipe

1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 rosemary sprigs
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon Yellow mustard seed
2 pounds Polish kielbasa sausage
1 (12 ounce) can Coca-Cola Classic
Rosemary sprigs for garnish

In a 5 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Add the onions, green bell pepper and two rosemary sprigs. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the onions are nearly translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in honey, mustard seed, and sausage. Pour the Coca-Cola over the sausage and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is absorbed and glazes the sausage. This will take about 30 to 40 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the sausage from sticking.

Remove the rosemary sprigs from the Dutch oven and transfer the sausage slices to serving platter. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.

Thanks Gals!! Going to print this page out! I ended up just pulling out a box of Zaterans (spelling?) Dirty Rice and adding the kielbasa to it. All of the recipes look delish. I have 2 more rings in the freezer, so now I will get the ingredients to make 1 or more of them!

Night Owls Creole Butter Beans ROCK too but might be a bit spicy for the kids.

I've made this Rachael Ray recipe, expect I omitted the kale. Tasty.


My Version of My Friend Jon's Polish Stir-Fry and Pierogis Pot Stickers with Herbs and Sour Cream Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
Show: 30 Minute Meals
Episode: He-Man Helpings


3 tablespoons softened butter
1 package frozen pierogis, potato filled dumplings -- any brand or variety
1 1/2 pounds kielbasa, cut in large slices on an angle
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 turn of the pan
1 tablespoon butter
1 large red onion, quartered and sliced
1 1/2 pounds kale, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 pound sauerkraut, drained
1 teaspoon ground mustard or 2 tablespoons prepared spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1/3 palm full
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill leaves
2 tablespoons chopped chives
A handful of parsley leaves, chopped
1 cup sour cream

Cover the bottom of a skillet with softened butter. Arrange pierogis in the pan in a single layer. Add 1 cup water to the pan. Cover pan and place over medium high heat. Cook covered 8 minutes, remove lid and cook out any liquid in the pot.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Brown kielbasa and remove from pan. Cover kielbasa with foil to keep warm. Drain fat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Raise heat to high. Add onion to the pan and saute for a few minutes to soften. Add chopped kale in batches as it wilts into the pan. When kale is wilted, add sauerkraut. Season stir-fry with mustard, paprika, salt and pepper. Return kielbasa to pan. Toss to combine and transfer to a serving platter.

Let the pierogis "stick" and brown in the butter as the liquid evaporates. Remove crisp pierogis from heat to a plate.

Stir together the chopped herbs and sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Serve with pierogis.

Crockpot kielbasa & potatoes
1 ring kielbasa, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1 bag O'Brien style frozen hash brown potatoes
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. cheddar cheese

Brown kielbasa in a skillet. Add it to the crockpot along with remaining ingredients. Cook on high 3 hours or on low for 6. My crockpot runs hot on the low setting and it's done in 4 hours or less!

Ok I don't have exact measurements here--but it was actually a tasty meal I got a restaurant!This is what I normally use:
Package of Kilebasa
Egg Noodles
Onion
Garlic
Small container of sour cream
You make up egg noodles, cut the kielbasa up & cook. Then you mix the noodles with sour cream, garlic, onion, chunks of tomatoes.

Hmmm haven't made it in a while, I might have to now!!

[bee]

Stacie, sounds really good!!

[jewels]

I made samiams and it was a huge hit.

hi jewels,
I use sausage to make this and whatever amount of sausage you use just cover it in gingerale. Dh and my boys luv this stuff so I always have to make extra if I am taking it. Just made over 20 pounds for my friend's daughter's graduation and she said it all went.

Sausage in Ginger Ale

This was first given to me by my girlfriend and I have made it for graduation parties and dinner parties ever since. It tastes better than the name I like this because you can double the recipe or like I did made four of them for a graduation party and they all went because not everyone likes kraut with sausage. Just make sure if you use the 5 pounds of sausage you cover it in gingerale, maybe not a full liter I use about a liter and a half for 20 pounds!!

5 lbs of ekridge smoked sausage
1 liter ginger ale




Take your sausage and cut in half then put in a big pot on the stove and cook for an hour. Take out and cool and cut up in slices and put in a foil container or 9x13 pan and cover with enough ginger ale to cover. Put in the refrigerator to let the flavor come through. The next day cook at 350 for an hour and serve with toothpicks.
