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
- 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.

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.

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.
