Colorful Kielbasa

Ingredients:
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1-1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
1 pound smoked kielbasa, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

In a large skillet, combine the soup, water and butter; bring to a boil. Add kielbasa and rice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 18 minutes or until rice is almost tender. Stir in peas and mushrooms. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and peas are heated through. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand until melted. Yield: 4-6 servings.

The Results:

This was definitely a quick dinner. I like things like this when I want dinner on the table quick and the kielbasa was on sale too.Plus for me. The only thing I did different was add some corn to it because I didn't have enough peas. Also if you don't like kielbasa I'm sure you could throw in some cooked or rotisserie chicken. I got this recipe out of my Taste of Home cookbook. Since I haven't posted so much lately I have lots of good recipes coming up. Hopefully it doesn't take me so long to post them though.

Kielbasa and Potatoes

Ingredients:
1 pound polska kielbasa (cut 1/2 inch)
5 medium new potatoes (sliced thin)
1 small onion (chopped)
1 can mushroom soup
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste
Cheddar cheese

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 and spray a 2 quart(11X7) baking dish.
Cut up the kielbasa, potatoes and onion. In your baking dish lay down your potatoes in a row and then your kielbasa and onions. Mix together in a small bowl the mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Pour this mixture over the potatoes and kielbasa. Bake in the oven for 1 hour and then top with cheese and put it back in the oven for 10 minutes. Just make sure your potatoes are fork tender.

The Results:
I always like this. I served it with corn because that's what my family likes. I like that this meal is a one pot dish. Instead of kielbasa you could use ham or ground beef.
