Yummm! I was craving asparagus so substituted fresh asparagus for the broccoli and it is super good. Didn’t have to change the cooking time at all and the asparagus was done to the perfect crispiness. It is great without the cheese, but added cheese individually for those who wanted it. I will definitely make this again!!

I grew up eating kielbasa but the only alternate from having it with sauerkraut or on bread was Gram adding it to spaghetti sauce! This is a great casserole recipe, with some minor changes: I cut up and cooked the kielbasa in the toaster oven to bring out more of its flavor and to remove more of the fat; I used broth leftover from boiling chicken, which was already seasoned; to save time I used frozen cut up peppers and onions; and I used brown rice instead of white. It is yummy.

Excellent dish easy to make. I added a can of baby peas and I used roasted peppers to add flavor. Delish.

You have no idea how happy this makes me! I love it when kids are interested in cooking / eating. You should have him pick out another recipe and make it. Twice a month…

Our11 year old son found this recipe on his own and has been begging to make it for our family. I finally bought the necessary ingredients this weekend. He was able to make this dish all by himself. His four brothers all loved it!!! We will most likely be serving this dish again soon!
