Kielbasa Skillet Supper

BecR's Note:

A delicious, hearty rib-sticking meal!!! Serve with crusty French bread slathered in butter, and a glass of cider or ale! Leftovers are great. Recipe is from my father, I've adapted it a wee bit.

This was great! Normally I am not a fan of Kielbasa, but this rocked me out of that!

As I was making this, I was worried my family would think it was too heavy. All 5 members loved it! I served sauerkraut on the side since half of us love it and half don't. Next time I'll find a bigger skillet, too. I'll make this for our cold weather camping trip coming up.
