ONE POT Kielbasa & Onion Pasta

If you are a fan of the One Pot Dinner Recipe like I am, this one is going to be perfect for you and your busy family. Not only is it a one pot meal, it is quick, easy and full of hearty ingredients that will fill up and satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.

When I put this recipe together, I was trying to use up items I already had in the pantry. It was time to put together our Menu Plan for the week, and I wanted to use up what I already had before bringing in more groceries.

As soon as I took the first bite, I knew I had to share how I made it with you guys. Since you all loved the Crock Pot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa, I just knew you would love this one too! The flavors were outstanding. Spicy kielbasa (you can use Polish Sausage if you are not a fan of the spice) and a creamy cheese sauce all cooked together with whatever pasta you have in your pantry make this one pot dinner recipe very satisfying.

Serve with crusty garlic bread to sop up all of that flavorful sauce!
