Kielbasa Skillet Simple & Delicious by Gordon Ramsay

Kielbasa Skillet Simple & Delicious


Simple & Delicious Kielbasa Skillet

Simple & Delicious Kielbasa Skillet is one of those recipes that is really more of a concept than a recipe because you don’t *have* to have a certain vegetable or certain amount of any one veggie. You don’t even have to use polish sausage, you can use weenies instead even use those little faux weenies, the vegetarian or soy ones if you like. I use Turkey Kielbasa these days.

Full of Flavor and Enjoy Now or Later

No matter what you have on hand and end up using, this kielbasa skillet is hearty and full of flavor – and that’s why I love it. I made the pictured dish this past Sunday in the afternoon and then divided it into individual containers to put in the fridge for lunches and breakfasts in a hurry.

The ingredients for my Kielbasa Skillet recipe are:

  • Potatoes
  • Bell pepper
  • Tomato
  • Onion
  • Kielbasa (I prefer turkey)
  • Season All
  • Vegetable oil

A Note Regarding Season All

Now Season All is a big player in this dish. It’s a great all purpose seasoning that is surprisingly cheap (I even use generic brands and like them just as well) that contains salt,  chili pepper, black pepper, celery seed, onion powder, paprika, garlic, etc. It’s great to have around the kitchen for pretty much all things, thus the name.

 Season doesn’t have MSG. It even says so clearly on the bottle: “No MSG”. I don’t know if it used to have MSG or not (but I know it sure doesn’t now. Like I said, the name brand (Morton) is a great one but I pick up bottles of generic Season All pretty often and like them just as well. 

After making this Kielbasa Skillet with Season All, it also works great with hamburger steak.  Give the patty a good sprinkling…both sides 🙂

How To Make Kielbasa Skillet

Simple & Delicious Kielbasa Skillet

  • To start with, pour a little oil in your skillet. This is probably about four tablespoons. You’re gonna need this to help get those potatoes cooked.
  • Put this over medium high heat.

  • Wash your taters and chop them up. I don’t peel mine but you can if you really want to.
  • Those skins have lots of good stuff in them and I like having them on there.
  • Cook these for about ten minutes, stirring often.

  • Add all of your other vegetables, which you chopped right skippy like while your taters were cooking because you’re all efficient with your time like that.

  • Stir that up and let it cook for about another five minutes or so, stirring if you think about it every now and then.

  • At some point you want to generously sprinkle the top of that Kielbasa skillet with Season All. I probably use about a tablespoon or so, all told. It’s up to you. You can always add more if you want to but don’t be afraid to be generous because this is good stuff!

  • After my potatoes start getting close to tender, I scoot everything over to one side of the skillet and add my sliced kielbasa and let it get good and hot, even a little browned on the bottom if I feel like taking the time to do so.

  • Stir that up good and then let it continue cooking until the potatoes are fork tender.

  • I usually turn my heat down to medium low and employ a fancy skillet cover in the form of a dinner plate to let the potatoes steam a little bit.

Look how pretty! Now sprinkle this with some more Season All.

Go ahead, don’t be shy.

Serve warm. Serve cold. Just sit down and eat!

This makes a great supper, breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner and is great to eat at the table, in the recliner, on the porch.

Ingredients

*All sizes are scalable based on what you have on hand or how many you are feeding. Feel free to use more or less

  • 16 ounces Turkey Kielbasa sliced into 1/2 inch (ish) rounds
  • 6-8 medium potatoes unpeeled
  • 1 medium to large tomato
  • 1 large bell pepper
  • 1 large onion
  • Season All 2-3 tablespoons
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Please oil in large skillet and heat over medium high heat while chopping vegetables.

  • Cut all vegetables into bite sized pieces. Add potatoes to skillet and cook, stirring often, about ten minutes. Add all other vegetables and a generous sprinkling of Season All. Stir and cook another five minutes.

  • Push veggies to the side of the skillet and place sliced kielbasa in empty side. Cook, stirring every now and then, for about five minutes.

  • Stir contents of skillet together, and generously sprinkle with Season All again. Cover with a lid or large dinner plate and reduce heat to medium low. Cook until potatoes are fully tender, 5-10 minutes more. Sprinkle with more Season All if you like (I like!) and serve.

Notes

Please note, I am only telling you the measurements I used this time. I change this up all the time so consider this recipe a general guideline. The only thing I recommend doing is using a good bit of Season All or seasoning of your choice. That combined with the onion, sausage, and pepper really gives it a wallop of flavor but feel free to make it your own.

Skinny Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie — The Skinny Fork by Gordon Ramsay

Skinny Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie — The Skinny Fork



So the other day I ordered pizza. Yes, delivery. What? You think I eat healthy all the time? Nope! Fun Fact: I whole heartedly believe that part of eating right and healthy means that sometimes you should afford yourself splurges. Give into a craving every once in a while. …Anyway. I also grabbed a ‘cookie pizza’ and my kid sort of fell in love with it.

Today I decided to have her help me make one! Of course, the one we made is better for you already simply because it’s homemade and from scratch. Plus, the sugar is reduced and we have complete control over what’s going into it. And hey, any excuse to get her in the kitchen with me is a good one.

Skillet Lasagna – Southern Plate by Gordon Ramsay

Easy Skillet Lasagna


Easy Skillet Lasagna

I absolutely love Lasagna, but it has a few strikes against it. Even though my slow cooker lasagna is a dear favorite, it makes enough to feed an army and requires a little bit of planning ahead – and if you’re just not tuning in, there are two things that I’m not: organized or a planner.

This skillet lasagna is a new favorite of mine for several reasons. First of all, let me start by telling you that no matter what you think, it does not taste just like spaghetti. It tastes like skillet lasagna, and you need to make it soon because it is:

  1. Easily made in about 20 minutes
  2. Economical (stretches a 1/2 pound ground beef to feed 4 people)
  3. All the flavors I love in Lasagna but in a perfect serving size for a smaller family.
  4. Easily doubled (see recipe for notes on how I do that)

I’m hungry so let’s get started:

Skillet Lasagna Ingredients

 You’ll need: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, ground beef, onions, mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, and about 1/2 a package of egg noodles. 

The beauty of this recipe is that it feeds about four people with only 1/2 pound of ground beef, which is a real budget saver.

I say “about” because putting servings on a recipe is very relative. The first thought that comes to mind every single time anyone asks me how many a recipe feeds is “How hungry are you?“. If you have a casserole that some “say” feeds 6, but four are little kids, it may feed 8-10. Likewise, if you have a half starved lumberjack in the family, it may feed two :).

Making Skillet Lasagna

In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown ground beef and onions until it’s no longer pink in the center, breaking it up into smaller pieces as you do so. Drain off any grease once it’s cooked.

Making Skillet Lasagna

Add in your water, tomato paste, tomatoes (with juice), Italian seasoning (Pronounced EYE-talian by my grandmother), and garlic powder.

Making Skillet Lasagna

Stir that up good and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about ten minutes – or until you get tired of simmering.

Either or works for me – I promise I’m not grading on how well you follow instructions.

Making Skillet Lasagna

Cook them thar noodles!

Your package tells you how in case you need to know 🙂

Skillet Lasagna

Stir in your cooked egg noodles.

Interesting fact: You know when I do TV I’m not supposed to say “your” egg noodles or “your tomatoes”. I’m supposed to say “the” egg noodles and “The tomatoes”. Which is completely and utterly ridiculous (not that I have an opinion on it or anything) because at this point, if they don’t belong to you, you really shouldn’t be cooking with them. It is not often that I break into people’s homes and cook with ingredients I find in their pantries but I supposed tv folks are supposed to use general terminology in order to avoid make burglar chefs feel guilt or shame about their unfortunate but tasty habit.

The world is a crazy place and I’m just a swinging over it on my trapeze…

Skillet Lasagna

Stir your two cheeses together.

Skillet Lasagna

Drop that by spoonfuls onto the top of your skillet.

You don’t have to put it in the center like I did, you can just go crazy putting it all over if you want – or even make a smiley face out of cheese blops on the top!

Get creative but if you do anything really fun be sure and send me a picture 🙂

Skillet Lasagna

Enjoy! 

Skillet Lasagna

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 16 ounce can diced tomatoes undrained
  • 6 ounce can tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon dry Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 ounces Egg Noodles half of a 16 oz pkg, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup Mozzarella

Instructions

  • In large skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium high heat until no longer pink in center. Drain off any grease.

  • Add tomatoes in juice, tomato paste, water, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to skillet. Stir well and lower heat to simmer for ten minutes, while you cook the egg noodles separately.

  • Stir cooked egg noodles into the sauce.

  • In separate bowl, stir together cottage cheese and mozzarella. Drop by spoonfuls over top of lasagna skillet. Cover and let cook about five minutes, until the cheese melts.

To double: Cook the entire package of egg noodles and double the sauce and cheese recipe. After you drain egg noodles, pour them into a 9×13 baking dish. Spoon cooked sauce over top and dollop with spoonfuls of cheese and bake in a 350 oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

This recipe was originally published in 2013. I updated the post and photos in 2020.
