The difference between kielbasa and smoked sausage
Kielbasa is usually made from pork while smoked sausage can be made from pork, turkey and or beef. Smoked sausage is fully cooked and then smoked and you can eat it hot or cold. Kielbasa is usually sold precooked much like a hotdog. And like a hot dog it should be heated and cooked. Kielbasa is seasoned heavily with garlic and has a coarse texture. To learn more click here.
What foods go with kielbasa?
Just like sausages there are many different foods you can serve with kielbasa. Like this recipe it goes well with potatoes or other starches like rice, pasta or beans. Many people like to grill kielbasa and eat them on a bun with cooked onions and peppers. Lastly kielbasa is a good breakfast food and tastes great with eggs and hash browns.
Quick & Easy Kielbasa Recipe
So to make this skillet of deliciousness, you start by tossing your chopped veggies and kielbasa with olive oil and spices and then spreading them evenly in your cast iron or oven proof skillet like this.
Then just bake until your potatoes are soft and brown. Mine took an hour (conveniently the same amount of time it took me to watch an episode of The Voice.) Doesn’t that look like comfort food to you? It does to me.

I made this because I had kielbasa from an Omaha Steaks gift. My family loved it. I know because there were no leftovers and they were looking for more. I’m making it tonight instead of ordering pizza.
Denise
Hi Beth,
So glad they liked it! It’s an easy but tasty dish. I didn’t know Omaha Steaks had kielbasa. Sounds good! Thanks for taking the time to come back and comment!

I am cooking this right now. Ive made it for awhile on the stove top. I like this better so far no stirring like on the stovetop. Looking forward to the end results. Will let you know.
Denise
I hope you like it!

Do you think i could eat this dish all the time for the rest of my life iam 37 and would like to live to 100.. Would there be enough nutrition.. Iam so sick of making all these different meals and would rather just eat one thing all the time.. And this dish is easy to make and ingredients i could buy in bulk.. So i always have it on hand.
Denise
I’m not sure if you are joking or not Tom but no I don’t think this would be a healthy enough recipe to eat for the rest of your life. I think kielbasa is not the most healthy foods. I’m. no nutritionalist though.
Patti
Hi Denise this sounds really good, can’t wait to make it! Do you think it would be ok made in a casserole dish?
Denise
Hi Patti,
Most definitely it can be made in a casserole dish. Hope you enjoy it!
Ilene
Made recipe as is Simply Delish!
Denise
Hi Ilene, so glad you liked it! Thanks for taking the time to come back and comment…..I appreciate it!
Lori
Do you think it would work with the pre-cut potatoes that you can buy in the refrigerated section?
Denise
Hi Lori,
I don’t see why not. Good luck!
Debbie
I make something similar, but instead of potatoes, I use cabbage. I will have to try it with potatoes, it would be a more filling meal.
Kathleen
I made this last night as written and served it with a salad. We all enjoyed it! Thanks for the quick, easy, and tasty recipe—it is going into the regular rotation 😊
Denise
Hi Kathleen,
Thank you for taking the time to comment. You made my day! So glad you liked it.
Susan
I’ve been making something similar for about 20 years. My recipe is done on the stove top. I add in button or baby bella mushrooms and zucchini and/or yellow summer squash! I also switch up the seasonings; sometimes, I go for a tex-mex blend or a Greek blend. I’ll try making in the oven next time!
Denise
Hi Susan,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your dish sounds wonderful too and I think I will try that next time I make it. I like the idea of different seasoning too!
Tevin Warren
I made the same thing tonight. I looked at the receipt and thought zucchini and yellow squash would go perfect. I didnt do the mushrooms. I also switched up meats. I used raw shrimp and lemon garlic chicken. It was wonderful.
Denise
Hi Tevin, I’m glad you liked it and thanks for sharing your tips and substitutions. I’m sure my readers (and me) would appreciate your ideas!
