CROCK POT KIELBASA GARBANZO STEW

Crock Pot Kielbasa Garbanzo Stew image

This is a very simple and great recipe that my family has been making for years and I don't see anything like it on this site. It's from a 1976 edition of a Better Homes and Gardens Crockery Cooker cookbook, listed as Sausage-Garbanzo bake. I usually double the recipe and serve with white rice. You can reduce the fat content by choosing low-fat or Turkey-kielbasa.

KIELBASA STEW (CROCK POT)

Kielbasa Stew (Crock Pot) image

We really enjoyed this simple stew from Fix-It and Forget-It Recipes for Entertaining by Phyllis Pellman Good & Dawn J. Ranck. I've made this twice now......once in the crock pot and once on the stove top when I was in more of a hurry. I like to replace one can of tomato sauce with diced tomatoes.

Brown the kielbasa before adding it to the crock pot: Browning the kielbasa before adding it to the crock pot will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice crust.
Use a variety of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your stew. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and green beans.
Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will help to add flavor and depth to your stew. Some good options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours: Cooking the stew on low for 6-8 hours will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can also cook the stew on high for 3-4 hours, but the flavors will not be as well-developed.
Serve with a side of bread or rice: Kielbasa stew is a hearty and filling meal that can be served with a side of bread or rice.
