A kielbasa casserole, or Polish casserole, has deep roots in Polish history. People in Poland initially started making sausages in the Middle Ages as a way to preserve meat. Today, we just get to enjoy their invention in cheesy, warming comfort food, like this casserole. One of our favorite Polish recipes<\/a>, it has a creamy, savory sauce and a bit of acid from the sauerkraut<\/a> and kielbasa, all mixed with pasta.<\/p>\n

What is kielbasa?<\/h2>\n

Kielbasa is a type of Polish sausage (the two terms are often used interchangeably in the United States, though not in Poland), and it’s usually made from a mixture of pork with some beef or veal and some spices. Putting it into a Polish sausage casserole makes for a hearty dinner that can be prepped and frozen in advance. And if you really like the taste, try a potato kielbasa skillet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
