Why You’ll Love This Kielbasa and Cabbage Skillet Recipe

If you’re looking for an easy meal that can be done and on the table in 30 minutes, this is it! Kielbasa is often on sale, making it a very affordable meat. Cabbage and potatoes are cheap and filling while still providing nutritional value. You can add some extra veggies if you want – carrots in particular make a great, colorful addition! My whole family loves this Kielbasa, Cabbage, and Potatoes meal (Even those who don’t like cabbage that much). Some of us think it tastes great with BBQ sauce or ketchup.

I added some Texas toast (I got it at a super cheap discount)but there are many other delicious breads you can use instead, such as fluffy graham crackers.

On a black table lies a frying pan filled with sliced kielbasa, potatoes and cabbage, all lightly seasoned and sautéed.
