Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil for pasta.

Reduce heat and let sauce simmer while you cook pasta.

  • Serve the kielbasa and collards with your favorite sides: Kielbasa and collards is a hearty and flavorful dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, cornbread, and green beans.
