Kielbasa With Cajun Peppers & Rice – 15 Minute Kielbasa Dinner!

Enjoy a quick and easy kielbasa dinner that very tasty. Kielbasa with Cajun peppers & rice is a dish you make in no time at all and you family will really enjoy it!

I lliterally threw this together in 15 minutes because just as I had planned to make a rather large supper for my family. Then I found out it would only be me and my hubby, so I switched gears. I looked in my fridge and pantry to see what I had on hand: kielbasa, fresh tomatoes from the garden, bell peppers, onions, cajun spice and brown rice with quinoa.So I ended up with this kielbasa recipe and it turned out quite delicious!

Kielbasa & Cajun Peppers Dinner Recipe

First I cut up the kielbasa and browned it in a larger skillet. I took it out of the pan and added the onion and sautéed until they softened and then added the peppers, tomatoes and spices.

When that all cooked down I added the cooked rice and kielbasa and let it simmer for a few minutes so the flavors would meld. If you want it a little more spicy just add some Tobasco or more cajun spice. Also you can add just about any veggies you have on hand but I think it’s important to have the onions, peppers and tomatoes as a base.

So the next time you are in a bind and need a quick and delicious one pot dinner in 15  minutes try this delicious dish!
