Kielbasa Casserole

An old time family favorite is kielbasa casserole.  Thankfully it was one that we didn't have to change much when we made our diet switch a few months ago.  It is very good and the kids all ask for seconds, plus it's easy to make!

Kielbasa Casserole

Ingredients:
    rice(separate from casserole)
    kielbasa
    frozen sweet peas
    frozen sweet corn
    cream of mushroom soup(recipe here)
    mushrooms
    shredded cheddar or cojack cheese
   
cooked rice(I use brown rice--how much depends on your family size--I use 3 cups of uncooked rice)
    Since I use brown rice I have to boil the water, add the rice and then let it cook for 45-60 minutes.  While it is cooking I work on the other part of the casserole.

First take the kielbasa and cut it up so that you have bite size circles of meat.  Brown these in a skillet for a few minutes.  To this add the cream of mushroom soup, peas, and corn. 

Cover and simmer until the frozen veggies and tender and warmed throughout, stirring occassionally. 

Top with cheese and mushrooms and simmer until the cheese is melted. 

By now the rice should be done.  Place a spoonful of rice on plate and flatten out.  Ladle a spoonful of the kielbasa casserole over the rice and enjoy!
