Jennie’s Thoughts

This recipe reminds me why I love slow cooking so much. There’s a certain comfort in tossing everything into the crockpot, walking away, and coming back to a meal that’s bubbling, golden, and ready to serve. I make this often on busy days when I want something hearty and homemade, but I don’t want to hover over the stove.

The buttery potatoes soak up the smoky flavor of the kielbasa, the onions get sweet and tender, and the whole thing comes together like a cozy, rustic dinner you’d find in a countryside kitchen. It’s simple, soul-warming food — the kind of meal that feels like love in a bowl.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 (14 oz) package kielbasa, sliced into rounds
• 6 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for serving)
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Layer the ingredients:
   Lightly spray your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray. Add the diced potatoes, sliced kielbasa, and chopped onion.
2. Add the seasonings:
   Drizzle the melted butter over everything, then sprinkle on garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently toss or stir to combine.
3. Slow cook to perfection:
   Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the kielbasa is browned around the edges.
4. Serve warm and cozy:
   Once everything is cooked, give it a gentle stir. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top if desired, and let it melt slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Serving Ideas

This dish is hearty enough to serve on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with a side of buttered green beans, roasted vegetables, or a crisp garden salad. If you want to make it extra cozy, serve it with a slice of warm bread or a biscuit to soak up that buttery goodness.

When I make this, I always feel grateful — for my cozy kitchen, my family, and the joy of home-cooked food that brings everyone together.
