Hillshire Farm makes some great products that I’ve cooked with and enjoyed for years, so when they contacted us here at Digital Dads and asked us if we would be interested in trying some of their sausage and sharing it with our readers how could we say no?

Kielbasa is an interesting meat that can be used in a variety of situations from breakfast to dinner. If you didn’t read Chances breakfast recipe you should, but be warned it’ll make you hungry. We were sent two packages of Kielbasa and a cookbook that I can’t wait to try some new recipes out of. We thought it would be fun for Chance and I both to share a recipe and then let you win some sausage. (really not meant to be as dirty as it sounds!)

Here is my recipe for a quick, easy and tasty supper that is a breeze to make any day of the week. It is a little weird and a little different, but you can keep the ingredients on hand and whip it up when you suddenly have soccer practice and no time for anything else.

Fruity Sausage

Ingredients

• 2 packages Kielbasa
• 2 Large cans of Fruit Cocktail in heavy syrup
• 2 Boil In The Bag Brown Rice

Cooking Instructions:

1. Cut the Kielbasa into bite size chunks and place into a large frying pan over medium heat.
2. Cook until heated all the way through
3. Drain out as much of the fat as you can
4. Place the sausage back into the fry pan and pour in the two cans of fruit cocktail
5. Heat all the way through until the fruit is hot
6. Make the rice as instructed on the packaging
7. Place a few large scoops or rice on the plate and spoon over the fruity sausage mixture
8. The rice won’t be good left over, but the sausage and fruit will reheat just fine on it’s own

We want YOU to get something out of this in addition to 2 great recipes, so Hillshire Farm has agreed to give away a year supply of sausage to one lucky reader. This contest is open to US residents only and don’t worry about the size of your freezer, you’ll be getting coupons from the company rather then a stack of meat.

You can enter the contest one of two ways. Either rename this recipe for me since I had to make up one for this post OR post your favorite Kielbasa recipe in the comment field below and then I’ll pick a winner and announce it here on the site.
