Cheesy Kielbasa and Peas Skillet

foxfyre's Note:

This is a recipe featured by my local grocery store this month. Even my two year old loved it! It's a great one-skillet meal that's both very simple and easily customized. You could replace the kielbasa with cooked chicken, use a different flavor of cream soup, or replace the peas with your favorite vegatable. Have fun with it!

Pretty good, especially for being a one-skillet, quick, easy meal! I had to change it a bit for what I had on hand--fresh sliced portebellini mushrooms, cream of chicken soup--but everything else was the same. Turned out good, and even my 2 yr old ate it! Thanks for the recipe!
