This was really good. I'd like to give it 4.5 stars as a combination rating for being very good (not the best ever, but very good) while also being reasonably easy (though not a 5 minute quickie), but 4.5 stars isn't a choice. I followed the advice of another reviewer and baked my potatoes a bit in the microwave first (whole, in their skins). For my microwave, 10 minutes was too much, so I'll try 6 minutes next time. I made a few MINOR changes just to make it a little easier and a little healthier. Subbed precooked bacon so all I had to do was cut it up and add it at the end. I therefore sauteed the veggies in olive oil instead of bacon grease. I chopped the potatoes, as recommended by another reviewer, (instead of slicing) after precooking them in the microwave . I used bagged washed broccoli spears and chopped up some pre-peeled and pre-washed baby carrots for ease. And I used turkey kielbasa to cut down on the fat. Per another reviewer's suggestion, I added 1/4 cup of water before adding the kielbasa. I'm listing all these things just to be thorough but they are all very minor changes to the recipe. It as really good. My young kids (almost 2 and almost 4) wouldn't touch it (didn't even try it), but my husband and I thought it was very good.
