Editor's Note: Some of the ThriftyFun crew tried this recipe. It was wonderful, even passing the taste test of a 4 and 6 year old! We made a few slight modifications of the recipe on our 2nd attempt.
We used 1/2 a Hillshire Farms Turkey Kielbasa and sauted onions along with the sausage. We also added 2 Tbs. of water as it was cooking to provide a little more liquid when it was served over rice. The pictures provided are from when we made this dish!
Check out these recipes.
In a large pot, place the cubed potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and add enough water until everything in the pot is covered. Cook over medium heat for about 45 minutes.
This is an easy weeknight meal that my whole family likes. It is inspired by a recipe of my mother's.
Combine the 3 sauces together into a crock pot. Add kielbasa and mix. Cook on high for 90 minutes.

My parents and I really enjoy kielbasa. We have very limited ways of preparing it. Normally we fry or grill them and eat them on hotdog buns or bagels. We would really appreciate any casserole dishes or other ways to prepare this meat. We looked in a couple cook books with no success what so ever.
Thank you.

I love to chop mine up and add it with chunks of pineapple to a package of red beans and rice. Dirty rice is also really good. Zateran's is my favorite brand, but any of them will work.
If the beans and spices give you any trouble, put in about 1 T. of sugar once everything is done. It takes the kick out of tomato products, and helps to neutralize the beans and spices.
I hope this helps.

Here is a recipe I posted a few years ago. It's my mom's recipe and we make it often.
Grandma Sue's Famous Sausage Stew
www.thriftyfun.com/
I cut the sausage up into 2 inch pieces, put in casserole dish, along with 2 cans of new potatoes (pour in 1/2 to juice from can), parsley, minced onion and pepper to taste. Cover and bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes.
I like to cut it up and put it in a pot with potatoes and onions and green beans and season with salt and other thing a little broth or water and cook on stove top.
Try frying with cabbage and some onion flakes or chopped green onions.
This is one of my favorites from the Better Homes and Garden Cookbook.
Kielbasa and Cabbage
1/3 cup chopped onion (one small)
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
In 12 in skillet cook onion in hot margarine or butter till tender. Add cabbage wedges. Stir together apple juice, brown sugar, and vinegar. Pour over cabbage in skillet. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
Add kielbasa and apples. Return to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer covered, for 10 minutes or till sausage is hot and apple is crisp tender. Serve with slotted spoon. Makes 4 servings.
Note: I have used apple cider instead of apple juice and I have used smoked kielbasa also.
I am looking for a bean recipe. If I were to name this recipe, I would call it ranch style beans, but not like the canned ranch style beans. These are slow cooked and have some sort of kielbasa sausage in them. (No other chunks that I could tell... haha) Wonderful flavor. I don't like most of the canned baked bean and related beans but we had these at a catored event recently and they were marvelous! Does anyone have anything similar?
I have eight baked bean recipes,none with Keilbasa.This one has Pastrami. Do you suppose we could substitute?
Special Baked Beans # 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Add all ingredients and bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 3/4 hour
or until hot and bubbly.
In the south (NC) we take a can of pork n beans, (or true ranch style beans) cut up alot of onion in them, slice up a beef kielbasa and add "only a cap full" off of a LIQUID SMOKE bottle. ("It" is found at your local grocery store in the seasonings department). Put in microwavable bowl, cover with saran wrap and nuke for 15 to 20 minutes depending on how strong you microwave is. OR bake at 350 for 30 minutes. It is the Liquid Smoke that gives it the great flavor WE THINK! GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY EATING!
my baked beans and sausage:
1 can prk and bns
1 tbl bacon drippings or lard or oil
chopped onion
chopped green pepper
about 1/4 cup catsup or b-b-q sauce
thanks, i will try these, if anyone has any others, i would love to try them!
are you talking about red beans and rice? or bacarro beans(which are Mexican beans with bacon or can have smoked sausage in it)
I've been trying to find a recipe for kielbasa made with Coca Cola.
I've never tried this, but what I would do: brown the sausages in a small amount of butter. Then just toss them in with a couple of cans of coke, simmering. I cook most of my stuff with either beer or wine, but I expect coke would work pretty well with Kielbasa.
I was told...
1 package kielbassa
1 small package of brown sugar
1 can of coke
Simmer in crockpot.
Im actually also trying to look for a precise
recipe. This guessing is driving me crazy. lol
My son gave me some kielbasa, the Polish sausage. I would like some recipes for its use, but not too heavy. Does one boil it, saute it, broil it? Help!
I saute in skillet using water instead of oil ( to reduce the fat) for 2 minutes then drain on paper towels. I then use hash brown potatoes and add a side of vegetables and make it a meal.
Kielbasa and potatoes combine to make a delicious meal. This is a page about kielbasa and fried potatoes.
