SWEET ONION KIELBASA



Sweet Onion Kielbasa image

This is a very simple recipe I clipped from the newspaper. I make this with turkey kielbasa to lower the fat content and usually use Newcastle or Sam Adams as the beer. The recipe is intended as an appetizer but I see no reason why you couldn't serve it as a main dish with a side of rice and a veggie.

EASY KIELBASA SKILLET DINNER



Easy Kielbasa Skillet Dinner image

The house always smells awesome while this very tasty, filling meal is cooking. It makes kielbasa worth stocking up on when it goes on sale and uses basic/cheap ingredients overall. Vary the vegetables depending on what you have on hand. For example add/replace broccoli with a can of corn and/or peas, etc. If you like a little heat, sprinkle a little hot sauce on top after it's cooked. This should make about 4 servings, but it almost always turns out to be split into 2 large servings between the me and the boyfriend. We like to crisp up/brown the kielbasa slightly before adding the vegetables.

KIELBASA AND ONIONS



Kielbasa and Onions image

Make and share this Kielbasa and Onions recipe from Food.com.

Provided by ohgal

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs.smoked kielbasa
2 onions, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage slices, and cook until brown.
  • Remove sausage slices from skillet, and drain grease. Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet and heat over medium-low.
  • Spread sliced onions evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Stir onions to coat them with the oil and butter mixture.
  • Cook onions for about 20 minutes or until soft and brown. If onions seem to be cooking too quickly, lower heat to prevent them from burning.
  • Return sausage slices to the skillet, and stir together with the onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook until sausage is warmed through. Serve immediately, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of onions: Sweet onions are the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use yellow onions or red onions. Each type of onion will give the dish a slightly different flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the onions, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can brown evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the onions will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the onions over medium heat: This will help them to caramelize slowly and develop a rich flavor.
  • Use a good quality kielbasa: The kielbasa is the star of this dish, so make sure to choose one that is made with high-quality meat. Look for a kielbasa that is smoked or cured, as this will give it more flavor.
  • Serve the kielbasa and onions with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and roasted vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:

Sweet onion kielbasa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The caramelized onions add a rich and flavorful sweetness to the kielbasa, and the kielbasa itself is savory and smoky. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
