Kielbasa, Peppers and Potatoes – a Fast Family Meal

Written by Diana - March 10, 2010 5 Comments

This is one of my favorite quick tasty dinners.  Maybe I take too many shortcuts, but this one is good.  I can do this meal in under a half an hour, which is more time than my son gives me before he asks about dinner.  Seventeen year olds who run track are always looking for food; the quicker I get it into him, the less likely he is to fill it with junk or fillers. You can parboil the potatoes in a pot of water on the stove or a bowl of water in the microwave.  I do this because it will absorb less oil since it’s partly cooked already.  The kielbasa is turkey kielbasa, and it’s a little lower fat too.  The peppers – are mine.  We grew peppers last summer and froze them.  I haven’t run out of peppers yet, so I like to find  as many meals I can to use them in and the peppers though wilty are still delicious and full of flavor. I don’t put a dressing on it because my son isn’t a big fan, and we just use our preference of mustard or ketchup.  If I had my way I would pour on a mustard vinaigrette or dressing.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA           Ingredients:

Directions: 

Parboil potatoes in water then drain.  Sauté peppers and onions in  olive oil.  Slice kielbasa into 1 inch thick pieces, and throw in with peppers and onions and add in potatoes.  Toss in herbs and spices. 

 

That’s it, it’s all good.

    If I add sauerkraut, or pickles to anything, I’m eating alone. I have some in the closet, but I use it sparingly, otherwise it would be very lonely around here.

    One day last week we had this for lunch. Later that day I was running errands and didn’t get home until late so hubby and the grandkids had already eaten supper. I asked hubby to warm up the leftover Keilbasa from lunch for me.
    While I was eating I got a phone call and when I got back to the table my 2 year old grandson and his 5 year old sister were finishing off the last of my meal!!!

    I asked them what they were doing and the 5 year old told me they were having dessert! She said “I was hoping grandpa would give us some ice cream, but this was okay.”

    Ha! That is funny, it’s so great that they liked it enough to be dessert. Your grandkids have great taste.
