Kielbasa and Veggies

Dissie's Note:

I made this recipe up when I was in a hurry to make dinner one night and it went over like gangbusters. I make this when I am really rushed to put something on the table fast. It goes well with mac and cheese. (boxed is just fine) :) It is one of my hubby's favorite meals. It can be made with frozen or thawed kielbasa, have used both and it works just fine. I have been out of onions and bell peppers and have used a bag of frozen veggies. (The one I used had broccoli and other veggies in it, and it was equally as good too)

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 2 lbs kielbasa, sliced into coins or 2 lbs smoked sausage , if you prefer sliced into coins
• 1 -1 ½ large onion , cut up in large chunks
• 1 -1 ½ bell pepper , cut up in large chunks
• 2 zucchini , sliced in 3/4 inch half moons
• ½-¾ cup barbecue sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil , for sauteing
• 1 (14 ounce) can corn , drained (optional)

Directions:

1. Heat up a large frying pan with olive oil on medium high, while it is warming, cut up the veggies and kielbasa.
2. Add them all to the pan at one time and saute.
3. Cook uncovered for about 3 minutes, making sure everything does get coated with the olive oil while stirring.
4. Cover pan and allow to steam, about 8-10 minutes. Stir every once in a while to make sure it doesn't burn.
5. The veggies and the kielbasa will also be browning during this time.
6. Uncover the pan and allow to fry for about 3-5 minutes, add drained corn if using at this time. (This step is burning off the liquid that the veggies release during cooking.) If some of the liquid is still there, its fine, just leave it in the pan.
7. Add the barbecue sauce. I don't really measure the barbecue sauce, just squeeze it into pan. You don't want it soupy, just coating the ingredients.
8. Serve immediately.
