Thanks to a combination of sale prices and coupons, I was recently able to stock up on Polska Kielbasa. This is one of my favorite ways to prepare it--real comfort food!
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 teaspoon celery seed
3/4 cup chopped celery (optional)
2-3 tablespoons flour
1 cup beef broth
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
1 small head of cabbage, cut in chunks (about 4 cups)
3 medium carrots, cut in chunks (about 1 cup)
3 medium potatoes, cut in chunks (about 2 cups)
1 pound Polska Kielbasa, cut in 1 inch pieces
1 bay leaf
In a medium skillet, melt butter or margarine. Saute onion and celery until crisp-tender. Add celery seed. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute.
Gradually stir in broth until smooth. Add thyme and tabasco sauce. Mix well.
Arrange cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and Polska Kielbasa in a 3 quart casserole. Pour broth mixure over all. Add bay leaf. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Uncover and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving.
