Kielbasa and Hashbrown Skillet

Instructions:

1. Preheat Skillet: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat (or use cooking spray).
2. Cook the Sausage: Add the chunks of Kielbasa or smoked sausage to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and heated through.
3. Add Vegetables: If using, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
4. Add Hashbrowns: Stir in the frozen hashbrowns. Spread them out evenly in the skillet and let them cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, allowing them to crisp up.
5. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together, then cover the skillet and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the hashbrowns are heated through and crispy.
6. Add Cheese (Optional): If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it over the mixture in the last few minutes of cooking. Cover until the cheese is melted.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and easy Kielbasa and Hashbrown Skillet!
