Dinner never goes away. Day after day, us moms have to figure out what to cook to keep our hungry families well fed. The task can seem daunting and it’s why I’m continually on the lookout for good one-pan meal recipes.
We are big fans of the Chicken Burrito Skillet Meal as well as One-Pan Pork Steak and Sauerkraut.
Sizzle Steaks with Mushrooms is a great beef one-skillet recipe and if you enjoy rich and luscious pasta in minutes, be sure to give my Creamy Tortellini Pasta Skillet a try, too….so darn easy and yummy.
Oh! And if you love mac and cheese, please don’t skip my Skillet-Style Mac and Cheese! If you want to make it a complete meal, add some Kielbasa sausage slices or some small cocktail sausages.
WHAT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS RECIPE
- Kielbasa is a fully cooked sausage at the time of purchase, making it super fast at dinner time since you just have to reheat it and that takes just minutes.
- The sausage and veggies are delicious with the tangy sweetness of the sauce.
- All you need is one pan to make this easy skillet meal.
INGREDIENTS
- Kielbasa sausage (any fully cooked sausage works great)
- Onions
- Bell peppers
- Carrots
- Sesame oil
- Ketchup
- Bread and butter pickle slices
- Sesame seeds, optional
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS SKILLET MEAL
- Don’t ever skip the very first step of browning off the sausages before going further with the recipe. This is where the sausage caramelizes and this adds TONS of flavor to the recipe.
- To make browning the sausages extra quick and easy, be sure both the skillet AND the oil is hot before adding the sausages.
- You can substitute any type of fully cooked sausage for the Kielbasa sausage in this recipe, such as Polish sausage, smoked sausage, or andouille sausage, just to name a few.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the peppers into chunks and the carrots into thin coins. Slice the Kielbasa sausage on the bias into 1/2-inch thick coins.
