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.

February 6, 2019 at 1:47 pmI 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.

November 20, 2018 at 12:00 pmDo 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
November 21, 2018 at 7:14 amI’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.

May 10, 2018 at 12:00 pmDo you think it would work with the pre-cut potatoes that you can buy in the refrigerated section?
Denise
May 10, 2018 at 3:35 pmHi Lori,
I don’t see why not. Good luck!
Debbie
January 23, 2018 at 9:24 amI 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.

January 9, 2016 at 5:30 pmI’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
January 9, 2016 at 6:06 pmHi 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
October 2, 2018 at 9:41 pmI 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.
