I like the challenge of cooking lighter meals that pack big flavor. This one, which came from a dear friend, fits the bill. My son rated it a 10 out of 10! —Beverly Batty, Forest Lake, Minnesota

This recipe won’t make it into our regular rotation. It wasn’t BAD, but it wasn’t good enough. Not sure if I will make it again, actually. I don’t know if the flavors just didn’t go well enough together for me or what. Doubled the recipe, which is 4 servings. No way the recipe as is would feed 4 people.

This was really good! I doubled the recipe except for the onion and didn't use bacon as my daughter doesn't like it. Everyone loved it including picky son. The cold leftovers were sooooo good the next day!

This was absolutely wonderful, which is a bad thing since I joined Weight Watchers. I bought the turkey kielbasa at Aldi, and because my smaller local Aldi doesn't carry slaw mix, I used their Southwest Salad mix minus the dressing because it has two kinds of cabbage as well as shredded carrots. If I'm in a hurry, I use a small package of Aldi's pre-cooked, crumbled bacon and add some saved bacon grease from when I have baked or fried bacon.

I was on the hunt for a new kielbasa recipe to try, this was great. I left out the bacon and used a power packed slaw mix (kale, kohlrabi, golden beets and cabbage) instead of traditional slaw. Definitely a keeper.

I followed the recipe except I only had a 1/2 of a sausage, I really didn't miss it. I don't like red pepper, but chopped it and didn't even know it was there. Hubby liked it, that a plus.

I usually try to make a recipe as close to the directions as possible the first time, but in this case I used what I had, which was brussel sprouts and omitted the sweet red pepper because I did not have any. I also cooked the potatoes ahead to shorten the time. I thought this was very yummy and it will go into a regular rotation...I will try it with the cabbage next time. :)

This is really good but "lighter"? 1500 mg sodium, and saturated fat? I think I would not call lighter. But aside from that, I love the vinegar "bite".

This was really good. It made 4 nice sized servings. Next time I'll have to cut the potatoes a little smaller so they're softer.

This is very good, I wish I would have made more! Next time I will double the potatoes ( I used baby reds) and the sauce
