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.

Hmm... My Polish (well, 50% Polish, but it's the half he likes better) husband would insist on one of the kielbasas, and I'd be down with that, but the cheddar sausage appeals to me the way only meat stuffed with cheese can. Tough call.

the hardwood chicken smoked sausage sounds outstanding--that's what i want to try whether i win or not!

Mandy said...

I will always have a weak spot for the Beef Polska Kielbasa. MMM, I used to make yummy sandwiches with this and loads of cheese on two slices of buttered white bread. Nothing more dangerous. I have to keep it out of my fridge for fear that my youth will creep up on me.

beef hot links sound good to me! I love really spicy sausage in pasta!

My favorite still is Polska Kielbasa, though the Lite is coming up fast. Frankly, if I win, there won't be a duplicate -- I'd try a different selection each month. Their quality is unsurpassed.

Trisha said...

I recently saw the hardwood chicken in the store recently and plan on trying it soon.

Well Rachelle I was looking through your blog for an Easter brunch recipe and now I think I will be using the Polska Kielbasa to make something. Always a popular choice in my family. I will share your link on my facebook page as well. Take Care!! Tiffany
