Review and Giveaway: Hillshire Farm Sausages and Recipes

I am sharing some fun and delicious recipes courtesy of Hillshire Farm. With spring and Easter quickly approaching, it’s great to have a few ideas for warm, easy-to-prepare meals to share with your family and friends. Hillshire Farm Beef Smoked Sausage and Polska Kielbasa are delicious and versatile meal options that are sure to please.

Hillshire Farm Beef Smoked Sausage and Polska Kielbasa can be prepared in many ways from Gumbo to kebabs! A variety of recipes are available for your consideration, including:
· Crustless Quiche
· A Fun twist on the classic Potatoes Gratin
· Baked Penne with Sausage

We were sent coupons to purchase Hillshire Farm products so I picked up some sausages and their delicious lunch meats. I wanted to try their recipe for a Tex Mex skillet dinner as well as an old recipe we all like here.

Southwest Chicken Smoked Sausage Skillet
Make your supper a little Tex-Mex tonight with the Southwest Hardwood Chicken Smoked Sausage Skillet. Sizzle up some Hillshire Farm® Hardwood Chicken Smoked Sausage with sliced zucchini, red and green bell peppers, and black beans. The real kick comes from that half cup of salsa with some chili powder.
*I used frozen thawed corn, and frozen peppers and onions, diced up.

1 package Hillshire Farm® Hardwood Chicken Smoked Sausage, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 large zucchini, sliced
2 cups frozen corn with red and green bell peppers and onion, thawed, drained
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained, rinsed
2 cups cooked white rice
1/2 cup salsa
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Mexican cheese blend

Spray a large non-stick skillet with no-stick cooking spray. Add sausage, zucchini and corn mixture; cook and stir over medium-high heat for 8 minutes or until vegetables are cooked and sausage is heated through.
Stir in black beans, rice, salsa and chili powder. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until heated through.
Sprinkle with cheese and cilantro (if desired); just before serving.

Kielbasa Skillet

adapted from my original post

1 package of Kielbasa polish sausage, sliced
2 Cups cabbage, thinly sliced
1 Cup carrots, thinly sliced
2 Tbl butter or olive oil
2- 4oz packages Knorr-Lipton Pasta Sides Chicken flavor, made as directed (or other flavor you'd like)

In heavy skillet, saute carrots and cabbage in butter or oil, until tender, remove from pan, set aside. Add kielbasa and let brown and heat through. Add cooked noodles, carrots and cabbage, gently toss together and serve.
