Super easy, quick, and tasty! Used polksa keilbasa since that's what I had on hand.

This is very different but we loved it. The sauce is excellent especially when mixed in with the rice. I used a pound of turkey smoked sausage since that is how much came in the package and it didn't seem like too much. Thanks Bama Chef for a neat recipe!

This is delicious. I make this same recipe, only I put marshmallows on top, as with candied yams.
