COMFORTING CHEESY KIELBASA AND POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• 1. Cut the kielbasa in half length wise and then cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place in a large bowl. You can use any other cooked sausage, andouille etc., if you want to change it up.
• 2. Cut the onion into thin slices and place in the bowl.
• 3. Peel the potatoes and cut into about half inch cubes. Place them in the bowl.
• 4. Add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, paprika and olive oil to the bowl. Mix well. Shred the cheddar cheese and set aside.
• 5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9 X 13 pan with cooking spray on the bottom and sides. Add the kielbasa and potato mixture to the pan and spread out evenly.
• 6. Cook uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender, stirring every 10 minutes. When the potatoes are done, turn the oven off and add the shredded cheddar to the top. Let it sit in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

BOY SCOUT BLUE-RIBBON KIELBASA

Steps:

• Cut onions and peppers into 3/4" wide strips. Saute until onions start to become clear. Cut Kielbasa in 1" chunks and add to onions and peppers. Add pineapple, including juice. Place lid on Dutch Oven. Cook at around 350 deg. for 35 minute.

KIELBASA AND FRIED BUTTERED SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• 1. Use a large skillet. Put the butter in and melt it around the pan. When it starts to sizzle put in the whole can of sauerkraut.
• 2. While the sauerkraut is cooking, cut up the kielbasa into 1 inch slices. Put aside.
• 3. Stir the sauerkraut. Once it starts turning brown add the kielbasa.
• 4. Continue to stir, add the spices, and stir some more. The sauerkraut should be golden brown with some darkened areas. Let it cook and stir often (sauerkraut burns easily, so you have to watch it. You only want a little bit darkened)
• 5. Once everything is mixed and the sauerkraut is golden brown turn off the heat and let it sit until the burner is cool. (This will darken the sauerkraut further.) Serve and enjoy.

ZESTY BBQ KIELBASA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a small to medium skillet, brown onions in butter.
• 2. In a small bowl, whisk all other ingredient, except kielbasa. Add mixture to skillet, mix with onion and simmer a few minutes.
• 3. In a small casserole dish, spread Kielbasa slices.
• 4. Pour sauce over Kielbasa and toss to coat. Note: You could probably use 2 pounds of sausage with the amount of sauce, we just like ours saucier. Any less sauce with a pound of kielbasa is too dry for our tastes.
• 5. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until good and bubbly. I then place under broiler to caramelize a few minutes. Just my preference. Serve with toothpicks. Enjoy!

SUPER EASY KIELBASA BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• 1. slice sausage links in half lengthwise then cut into 1/2 inch chunks
• 2. slice onion as indicated in ingredient list
• 3. spray either crockpot or medium to large saucepan or soup pot with cooking spray; add sausage and onion
• 4. pour in the beans, liquid included; add vinegar and mustard- stir to combine (if this is too sour, you can add a tiny bit of sugar to take the edge off); stir in Montreal or other seasonings
• 5. add just a bit of water to make more 'stew' like but not like a brothy soup- just enough to separate the ingredients a little bit- DO NOT cover the mixture with water
• 6. turn crockpot on (low if you'll be gone all day, high if you need it in a couple hours) or cook on stove-once it gets to a boiling point, turn heat down and let simmer until flavors blend...re-season to taste
• 7. ** if you prefer a thicker stock once its done cooking, add a bit of cornstarch/water or use Wondra/gravy flour to thicken....Enjoy!

GRILLED KIELBASA SKEWERS

Steps:

• 1. Cut kielbasa into 1" slices. Cut onion, bell peppers, corn on the cob, zucchini, tomato and ANY other of your favorite veggies you like int 1/2" to 1" chunks depending on how fast that veggie might cook. For example, the tomato will cook fast so cut into 1" chunk; corn can be cut into 2-3" pieces.
• 2. Place all the cut up vegetables and kielbasa into a large glass bowl. Pour the entire bottle of Italian salad dressing over it all. Mix so everything is coated and let marinate for at least a half-hour.
• 3. Start your BBQ. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes before using.
• 4. Skewer the kielbasa and the vegetable, alternating meat and vegetables however you desire.
