Kielbasa Cheesy Noodle Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 lbs of smoked kielbasa
1 bag small shell pasta or 1 bag elbow macaroni (any pasta shape can be used)
1 onion, diced (more or less to desired taste)
1 green peppers or 1 red pepper, diced (my family prefers green pepper)
1/2 package cubed Velveeta cheese (or 1 cup of your cheese of choice....we prefer Velveeta because it's creamier)
1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Preparation

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook the Pasta as directed on package.
Drain and pour into large Oven-Safe Casserole dish.
In a large skillet, saute the diced onion and pepper in 2 Tbsp of butter or Olive Oil.
Slice the smoked sausage links into small pieces and add to the skillet with the onion and pepper.
When the sausage is browned (most smoke sausages are precooked, so it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to brown).
add the contents of the skillet (sausage, pepper and onion) to the pasta in the Casserole Dish.
Mix well.
Add the cubed or shredded cheese.
Add the 1/2 cup milk or water to the mixture.
Salt and Pepper if desired.
Stir well.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes (or until it all melts together).
I usually serve with Boiled or Mashed potatoes, Saurkraut and Hot Rolls on the side.
YUMMY!
and believe it or not-- the kids LOVE IT!
