Anyone have a good recipe for kielbasa casserole?

How do you usually cook it?

I use it in bean soup, pasta sauce, potato skillets, or steam it in sauerkraut just to name four.

When I’m too busy to bother with “real” cooking, I have a Zatarain’s jambalaya mix that I make according to the package directions with cut-up chunks of kielbasa. (It’s so good that I try to find excuses for being too busy to cook.)

But I like kielbasa simply grilled and served with baked potato or french fries and a vegetable.

My favorite way to eat kielbasa is split open, length-wise, browned, and on a potato roll with caramelized onions, cheese and sour cream. But I’m sure this recipe for Green Rice casserole would work with kielbasa in place of the ground sausage.

I make a killer soup with the kielbasa, baby potatos, cabbage, onions and yellow crookneck squash. You could also do a sausage, potato, cabbage bake casserole of sorts. Yes, you can tell I am hung up on cabbage. lol

@WestRiverrat I usually serve it with sauteed peppers and onions.

Browned with sour kraut and raisins. I know it’s not a casserole, but it’s quick and easy.

Oh, that reminds me… I once had it sautéed in maple syrup. It only sounds awful; it was wonderful.

@CWOTUS no worse than honey glazed ham.

Add a half cup of beer to the pan when you are almost done cooking it. Cover with a tight fitting lid and let it steam for the last 5 minutes you cook it.

Stop it you guys…beer and Kielbasa…I am starving right now! lol

A friend of mine shared this recipe from her old Hungarian cookbook. It’s so easy and the sauce is really yummy. Your call if you want to add noodles to soak up the sauce. I skip noodles since it has potatoes in it. Maybe a good crusty bread is better?

Paprikas Burgonya

4 tbsp Canola oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
8 large potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tsp hot paprika
1 tomato, seeded and diced
1 tsp salt
black pepper
water
1 lb. firm Hungarian sausage or Keilbasa, cut in ¼” slices

Heat the oil in a 3 qt saucepan and saute the onion and green pepper for 3 minutes. Add the potatoes and saute for 5 minutes. Dust with the paprika and stir to coat the potatoes. Add the tomato, salt and pepper, and enough water to cover all the ingredients. Cover the saucepan and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are almost tender. Add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and serve hot.

@Earthgirl Thanks. I would give you more lurve if I could.

Your welcome! If you try it let me know how it turns out!

I was looking for a recipe today and I came across another good one! Haven’t tried it yet but it sounds really good and easy! When I was in Strasbourg I had the classic dish Choucroute Garnie. It has assorted meats like pork chops and sausages served over Sauerkraut. This reminds me of that but it is simpler and not as heavy on the meat.
