Sweet Kielbasa Skillet

Winner winner sausage dinner! When I told my husband I was making turkey kielbasa for dinner, he wasn’t thrilled. Once he tasted it, he went back 3 times!

This is a great basic summertime recipe, because you can add anything from the garden to it. Throw in different veggies each time you make it and it’ll never get boring! This can add a little to the cost if you don’t have a garden, but the basic recipe is inexpensive enough that it will still stay under $10.00.

If you have a regular sized family, don’t forget to halve the recipe because this makes a lot! If you choose to prepare the whole recipe, you might have to divide it between 2 skillets.

    I liked the idea of it being a little spicy sweet. I have always thought mustard would be good with Kielbasa casserole and this recipe is just what I was looking for. Thanks so much! I will be making this soon.
