Wow, I can't believe how good this is. My husband tried it and couldn't keep from eating it. The only thing that I changed was that I added alittle more milk and added onion powder. This would be good for a side dish, like steak. The servings are small if you want to serve it as a main dish, which is what I did. The 8 servings is good for about 3 or 4 people depending how much they eat. This is a keeper in my recipe box and I printed it out. Thanks 5 star all the way !!!

Easy. I added some fresh parsley and increased the garlic. Cut back on cooking time, I baked for 1 hour 15 min.

I hate being the negative one, but I didn't like this at all. I thought it was terrible and ended up throwing away the rest of what we didn't eat, which was a lot. I don't know where to start: thought the tbsp of garlic was a little too much - other than for the garlic, it was pretty bland. I stirred it a few times while it cooked and let it stand for 10 minutes after I took it out of the oven, as someone suggested, and it didn't come out soupy at all. Sorry. The vast majority of reviewers seemed to enjoy this... guess you just have to taste it for yourself.

This was just "ok" - my husband said he'd rather have just had potatoes and kielbasa. I sliced the potatoes scallop style and it was done in 1 hour. A 7x11 pan is not big enough - I only used 3 potatoes and still had to use a 9x13 pan.

I should have read the reviews before I made this recipe. I was hoping I could use the idea for a recipe for our store ad. It was far too runny as many others had suggested. (Sometimes the potatoes will cause that.) It was too much for a 9-inch square baking dish - perhaps a 13 x 9-inch pan would give greater surface area and allow it to dry up better - then one wouldn't need the baking sheet. IF I ever make this again, I will use 1 cup milk. I always look at the salt and never add it when I think the dish will be too salty. This would have been the case with this one. I added drained canned mushrooms. Onions would have been good too.

This is an excellent, easy recipe. My son is a super picky eater and said it was good! The thing that would have helped me, though, is if the recipe said to let sit about 10 min. after removing from oven to thicken. I topped the leftovers with cheddar cheese which was also yummy!

This is great for a cold winter day. My husband even had seconds! I added celery and onion, which added a lot to the dish. Thanks.

Wonderful flavors! It looked a little odd when I started baking it. However, the aroma and finished product is to die for! It is creamy and definitely a comfort food. Can be a little salty though. Be careful of that! :)

This dish smelled heavenly while cooking, so I was very excited to sit down to dinner. Like others have said, it was just too salty. And, I like salt! But, even though I did NOT add the tsp. of salt the recipe called for, and used Campbell's Healthy Request (low fat/low sodium) Cream of Chicken Soup, the flavor was overwhelmingly salty. I used turkey kielbasa, diced red skin potatoes, added chopped onion and celery, a dash of cayenne, and substited 1 C. Milk with 1 C. low fat Sour Cream. I mixed in about a C. of shredded cheddar, too. It looked great, and smelled even better, but my husband and kids ended up ordering Chinese Take Out instead. Bummer. I gave it two stars for the aroma, and the ease of preparation. I'd like to try it again, but I don't know how else to eliminate the salt/sodium. Do they make low sodium kielbasa? I doubt it.

I thought this was fantastic! (so did my room mate!) I made this for dinner. I added sliced onions, sliced mushrooms, diced red bell peppers, minced garlic(1 huge clove), and diced celery. I had no cream of mushroom soup, so used cream of chicken to which I added the milk, a couple of good shakes of cajun-style seasoning, some corn starch (to aid thickening) and about a tblsp. of marsala cooking wine. I followed the temp. and cooking time exactly. What a great dinner we had! Served it with some fresh, crusty bread and chilled merlot. Can't wait to make this again. Thanks Geneva!

Sorry, but I really did not enjoy this recipe. I'm Polish and my father brought me some authentic kielbasa from a Polish deli. I was looking forward to trying a different recipe with the kielbasa, so I found this one, and followed it perfectly. It took a fairly long time to cook (1 1/2 hours in the oven) and it came out OK, but I didn't think it was anything special.

This had a good taste but way too salty. Next time I will leave the salt out completely. I followed the ingredients exactly and only had to cook for an hour which was perfect. Make sure you cube you potatoes small and watch them so they do not get mushy.

Great flavor! Mine turned out great. I used a little less milk, half the S&P. I added a little chopped onion and celery, and diced the potatoes very small (1/2"), as suggested. Made half the recipe in an 8" square pan (3 cups diced potatoes), baked it at 350 for 1hr & 15 mins, and it came out perfect! Next time, I may use less kielbasa or else cut it up (it was very strong - I used Hillshire Farms Turkey Kielbasa).

My family really enjoyed this recipe. I used two very large russets which I diced small, and a 14 ounce piece of kielbasa. I used a little less milk, but kept everything else the same. I don't own a 7X11 dish, so used my 9X11 cake pan and this came out perfect! My husband claims this is a KEEPER.

This was okay. It took nearly an hour longer to cook than what the recipe said- after about an hour and a half it was still swimming in sauce. I turned up the heat a little and took the cookie sheet out from under the casserole dish. After that it started to cook better, and much of the soupy liquid that was there cooked off, thankfully. I added cheddar cheese on top at the end of cooking and let it melt. I was glad I did, because I think it wouldn't have tasted as good without it. Will probably not make again. It could probably use the addition of some veggies or something else. A little too boring with just potatoes and kielbasa.

Comforting and easy casserole. I made a few changes and am glad I did or I fear it might not been as tasty. I substituted cream of chicken soup (out of mushroom), added about 4 oz. of cream cheese to the sauce mixture, as well as garlic powder, dried minced onion and cajun seasoning. I will use even more seasoning next time. I made it in 2 layers and topped each layer with grated cheese too. Not real healthy, but sure tasted good!
