Kielbasa and Sauerkraut Skillet

Lately, especially this past week, I feel like time is not my friend. I feel like I am running out of time and can never get the to do list done. Somehow dinner time pops up and I am like, “woah, wasn’t is just lunch time?”.

Then I am standing in the kitchen looking at the meal plan that I made earlier in the week realizing that I can make the meal I planned and have hungry kids letting me know just how hungry they are or I can whip up something super quick. I have been going with super quick, because having 4 kids tell me how hungry they are is not my thing.

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.

What do you serve with Kielbasa and Sauerkraut?

This one dish meal is perfect on its own, however when I made Kielbasa and Sauerkraut for dinner I also make a fresh salad.

If you are making a salad you can make a quick one with fresh ingredients or go a little bit fancier and make the Low Carb Olive Garden Salad or a Caesar Salad.
