What is Kielbasa?
Kielbasa is a type of meat that is ground meat, mixed with spices stuffed into an edible casing and then smoked. In the grocery stores it comes in a U-shape that is already precooked.
The great thing about it being precooked is that it makes for a super quick cooking when you are making a kielbasa recipe for dinner and are short on time.
Kielbasa vs Polish Sausage
Kielbasa is the polish word for sausage, so when you are cooking and trying to figure out the difference, there is none. Polish sausage and Kielbasa are the same ingredient.
How long to cook kielbasa
When you buy kielbasa in the US it is normally smoked and already cooked and then packaged so all you are doing when you cook it is reheating it. When you are reheating it when adding it to a recipe it doesn’t take long to cook. If you are just reheating kielbasa in a skillet it will be cooked and heated all the way thru in about 5 minutes.
When you are making this Kielbasa skillet recipe you are going to cook the potatoes and the carrots first, which takes the longest. Then you add the Kielbasa to the skillet too reheat it.
Tips for Making this Recipe
Use Frozen potatoes and carrots. If you are in a rush and don’t want to dice potatoes you can use frozen diced potatoes.
Use Fresh Sauerkraut. You can use canned or jarred sauerkraut however fresh sauerkraut gives a much better flavor. I also like to add the juices from the bag to the skillet. You can drain the sauerkraut if you want to.

This is the second time I made this in a week! I add stone ground mustard while cooking, and my family often adds more. I added baby spinach because I have a big carton and I don’t want it to go bad. I was going to make it on the side, but I thought, why not just throw it in near the end until it wilts. Delicious!
