I gave this 4 stars, my fiance gave it 3.5. I used sliced red potatoes, skin on and followed the advice to parboil them for about 8 minutes first- and I'm glad I did! I also lightly browned the kielbasa with the garlic and dried minced onion before putting it all together. I used Cream of Celery soup, and 1 can of FF milk. I cooked at 375 for about 50 minutes and it was perfectly cooked. Fiance complained it was a tad bland and a tad too soupy. So we'll work on that for the next batch! This was easy, pretty quick and tasty. We'll def make it again- THANKS!

Great Idea but I can't do this to home made kielbasa! That's gotta be eaten cold with red beet horseradish! I have long cheated this idea with sweet italian sausage and a box of au gratin potatoes. It's quick and yummy but this works for a more home made appeal.

Very good. I thinly sliced 4 baking potatoes, and layered them with the sliced kielbasa. I used 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, mixed with one can of skim milk, a little bit of jarred minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper. I poured the soup mixture over the potatoes and kielbasa and topped with 1/2 a bag of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. I baked for an hour, and then topped with some French's Fried Onions and baked about 8 minutes more. Let it set outside the oven for a while for the sauce to thicken. A word of advice: this does not need the teaspoon of salt!! The kielbasa makes it salty enough (this coming from someone who likes salty!). This was a good diversion from our usual grilled kielbasa and my family says it is a keeper!

I made this as directed, and while it was alright, It was not a big hit in my house. It was worth a shot though, but I doubt I'll be making this again. If I do, I would defenitly use more Kielbasa, and maybe some other ingredients as well.

I absolutely love this recipe, I only made one small change and added some shredded cheese and placed back in the oven to melt. Gives a little extra flavor and the kids love it. You can also use a little lemon pepper to add a little tang. Husband will even make this meal for us. Great for cold days.

I added some chopped onion in with the kielbasa and potatos. Then added shredded cheddar cheese over the top, for the last ten minutes of baking.

Three stars on the original recipe. I agree, great idea, but lacked flavor. Five stars with changes. I made a simple roux by using equal parts of butter and flour.I mixed in some chicken broth and some milk. I added salt for flavor. I mixed in a handful of cheese. I sauteed onions with some garlic, then added sausage. I mixed the sausage in the roux. I layered the potatoes, spread the sauce, then layered again and finished with the sauce. With these changes, my family really loved it and I will make again.

I really liked this, my husband's only complaint was that the kielbasa was sliced to thin, so I will chunck it up a bit next time. I did cube the potatoes. Very good!

I didn't follow this recipe exactly but I followed the idea. I cooked a small green pepper and small onion with smoked sausage. In a casserole dish I layered half a bag of already cooked potatoes (simply potatoes) then layered the cooked sausage and some shredded cheese, then another layer of the potatoes sausage and some cheese. I topped it with 4 eggs beaten with 1 cup of milk and baked at 350 for 45 minutes covered, uncovered and topped with a chopped tomatoe and a little more shredded cheese baked for 10 more minutes. It turned out really good... thanks for the idea!!!!

This recipe is so good with changes i made after reading other reviews. I sliced and parboiled the potatoes and added sliced peppers and onions. Omitted the salt. Used one can of milk (using the soup can to measure) and stirred in a can of french fried onions. Topped with 2 cups of shredded cheddar and baked 1 hour. I also let it set for about an hour before serving to allow to thicken. This will be going into my regular rotation. Delicious!

I enjoyed this but it was done after 70 minutes cooking [would have had to cover with foil or let it burn] and as my potatoes were not very large I used less milk, about 1 1/2 cups.

One of the nice things about this recipe is that it is so customizable. I used probably about a can and a half of milk, thinly sliced the potatos on a mandolin, added some thyme and parsely, browned the sausage with some onion and added some frozen mixed vegatables, mixing it all in a 13x9x2. Threw some cheddar on top during the last few minutes and it made a very tasty cassarole. Can't go wrong.

This recipe was really good and really easy. My husband said it reminded him of something his mom would make. I take that as a really great compliment. The only thing I did differently was I sauteed the potatoes for about 10 minutes while I prepared everything else. So I only cooked it in the over for about a half hour. 90 minutes is too long to wait!

Went with alot of reviews on this one. Omitted the salt and added basil and pepper. Fried the Kielbasa with an onion and garlic. Boiled potatoes and broccoli for 10mins. And only used a cup of milk and used cream of celery instead of the mush. This is a sturdy Kielbasa meal and will be making again. As written 2 stars as rewiews written 4 so I went in the middle.

I made this last night for my family for dinner. I made a few adjustments to the original recipe though. First, I fried the Kielbasa and potato slices with Tastefully Simple's Onion, Onion as well as minced garlic until the potatoes and kielbasa started to brown a bit and become tender. I used Cream of Celery soup and 1 can of milk. I added a couple handfuls of shredded sharp cheddar cheese then mixed in the kielbasa and potatoes. I added extra of the onion onion spice and minced garlic. I put it in the oven for 30 minutes then topped with french fried onions and additional shredded sharp cheddar cheese and put back in the oven for 15 minutes. With these changes, it was delicious! Not only did my husband love it but my 4 year old daughter and my 10 month old daughter loved it as well! Thanks for the recipe!

I thought this was a really good recipe. I added some frozen green beans just to use them up, and also added about a cup of sour cream and cheddar on top (the last 15 minutes). Cheezy, creamy, flavorful!
