Sinfully Great Kielbasa Casserole
This recipe is a little different but I was intrigued when I read the original recipe on Food.com. I think this recipe could be varied and adapted to your families likes. For example, try adding in carrots and mushrooms. You can use a red or yellow bell pepper instead of green. The original author said, “”Great served with biscuits and salad. If there is any left over, your co-workers will want this recipe after they smell it reheating in the microwave for lunch the next day. That’s how I got it. Amounts can be adjusted to suit your family’s preferences.”
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Russet potatoes–or Yukon Gold potatoes or red potatoes
- Kielbasa–or smoked sausage, turkey kielbasa, or andouille sausage for extra spice
- Green bell pepper–or red, orange, or yellow bell pepper
- Onion–or shallots
- Olive oil–or avocado oil
- Cajun seasoning–or another seasoning of your choice with salt
- Heavy cream
- Tomato sauce–optional
Steps
Add potatoes, kielbasa, green bell pepper, onion, olive oil and cajun seasoning to slow cooker. Stir well.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Stir.
Pour in the heavy cream and cook without the lid for 20 minutes until a sauce forms.
Stir and serve. (If desired stir a can of tomato sauce in with it).
Notes/Tips
- Serve with crusty French bread, garlic bread or green beans.
- I used my 6 quart slow cooker.
- Top each serving with a bit of parmesan cheese.
- Slice the potatoes into evenly sized cubes so they cook at the same rate. If your slow cooker runs hot, check the potatoes around the 1½-hour mark.
- The optional tomato sauce changes the dish quite a bit, making it more like a creamy Cajun tomato sauce. It’s delicious both ways, so choose whichever sounds best to your family.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Other recipes you can make with cajun seasoning are Instant Pot Cajun Chicken Pasta and Instant Pot Penne in Cajun Mustard Cream Sauce.
