I wanted to make this today but had no steak sauce. I subbed prepared BBQ sauce instead and I thought it was just as tasty. One of my favorite recipes for using kielbasa, but have made it in the past with smoked sausage and that's good too.

I have made this many times now and love it as a quick easy meal. I have used potatoes instead of the beans and tastes great that way too! I double the sauce each time and use less brown sugar than is called for.

A very satisfying dish for a busy day. Next time I will use a little less sugar, just personal taste.

Super easy and fast. Could substitute any kind of sausage or even use chicken. A little sweet for me but that can also be changed. Definitely serve over rice.

Very, Very tasty. Even my 1 yr. old ate it up. We also served it over rice to make it a heartier meal.

I think the steak sauce gives it a little zip. Love the recipe because it is quick and flavorful.

I love this recipe! It is so simply to make, and full of flavor. I served it over brown rice. To save calories, I used turkey kielbasa in place of regular, and no flavor was sacrificed! Love this.
