As I was going through my recipe box for holiday cookie recipes, I came across a recipe from my late mother-in-law. It was a meal I made for my husband and I when we were first married. The recipe is kielbasa with bacon and vegetables. I stopped making it as we were trying to eat fewer fatty foods. However, everything in moderation is good for one’s self. I was able to find turkey kielbasa at Wegmans, which will help will to keep this dish healthy. I also needed a package of cut broccoli, carrots and cauliflower which I found at Wegmans, in the frozen food section Wegmans FYFGA Just Picked and Quickly Frozen California Blend. This one pan recipe also calls for a few slices of bacon (I used pork bacon) and an onion, both of which I had on hand. There are no specific measurements to my late mother-in-law’s recipe, but I’ll make a recipe based on what I used.
The meal turned out scrumptious. We haven’t had this in years and it was better than we remembered. The turkey kielbasa was juicy, the bacon gave all the ingredients a bit of smokiness and the vegetables absorbed all the flavors making it a great meal for a chilly night. Nancy’s one pot meal was a nice indulgence. Kielbasa with Bacon and Vegetables From Nancy R. Walsifer INGREDIENTS 1 package of kielbasa, cut into 3-inch pieces 3 potatoes, ¼” sliced and par cooked 1 small onion diced 4 slices of bacon 1 package of Wegmans FYFGA Just Picked and Quickly Frozen California Blend (cuts of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots) ¼ cup water DIRECTIONS Fry the bacon until crisp.
