Smoked Kielbasa with Potatoes and Carrots

Ignore the silly name of the website on the picture...

The recipe title isn't catchy and the picture might not make your mouth water, but this I assure you is a simple and delicious meat and potatoes comfort meal!

The recipe as written can get the food on the table quickly, but I happened to make this ahead of time, put it in the fridge and reheat it when our guest (Hi, Kim!) came for dinner later. It was very stew-like and it sure didn't seem like garlic salt was the only seasoning because all of the flavors had a chance to come together.

Try it!

Ingredients

• 13 oz Turkey or Lean Pork Smoked Kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 4 large red potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 4 large carrots, peeled and diced
• 1 tsp garlic salt (I doubled this...)
• 1 tsp dried chopped parsley (and omitted this because I didn't have any - weird, right?)
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional) (and opted out of these)
• 1-1/2 cups warm water (more if needed) 

Instructions

In large skillet over medium heat, cook kielbasa pieces for 5 to 7 minutes until pieces slightly blackened.

Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove cover. Continue to simmer until potatoes and carrots are soft and remaining liquid is evaporated (about an additional 10 minutes). Add additional 1/2 cup water if potatoes and carrots are not soft once original water has evaporated.
