A hearty and flavorful one-pan meal featuring kielbasa, fresh vegetables, and a touch of tangy sauerkraut.
Dice the bacon into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and even cooking.
In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Save the rendered bacon fat for added flavor in the next steps.
Chop the onion, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and celery into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure uniform sizes for even cooking.
In the same skillet with bacon drippings, add the olive oil and sauté the vegetables over medium heat until tender and slightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Slice the kielbasa into rounds and add to the skillet along with the sauerkraut and butter. Stir to combine.
Ensure the kielbasa is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Cover the skillet and cook on low heat until everything is heated through, about 10 minutes.
Check occasionally to avoid overcooking the vegetables.
Sprinkle the crispy bacon over the dish before serving.
Add the bacon just before serving to maintain its crispiness.
Serve the dish hot with your choice of side, such as crusty bread or a fresh salad.
Pair with a refreshing beverage to complement the flavors.
