Made it for dinner. Added two cups of chicken stock. Thought it was delicious but will cut back on the sugar.

I have tried this receipe and it is great. I have experimented with this receipt and eliminated the tomatoe sauce and substituted grilled brats that I have cut up. I have also used this receipe with braised short ribs. I braised short ribs, removed added 1 cup dry red wine let alcohol bleed off, then added all the vegetables and sauted till tender, added remainig ingredients and the short ribs and slow baked at 375 for 4 hours depending how your stove operates. This has become our new down home meal. - JP in WY

Here is the way I make Kielbase and cabbage. Put I small head chopped cabbage and 4 sliced carrots and 2 potatoes cut up in pan with about 1 cup water. Cooked till vegetables are tender. Slice up sausage in about 1/2 inch thickness and brown on both sides. Put in pot with cabbage and simmer for about 20 min. Good served with corn bread.
