Kielbasa Skillet Recipe

Since kielbasa comes already cooked, this recipe is just to heat it through and brown the edges, giving it extra flavor. Browning the kielbasa makes it even more delicious. You can then serve it as the main course of a dinner or add slices of it to dishes such as casseroles, pastas, egg scrambles, sandwiches, and so much more!

And it’s a very kid-friendly protein choice. Similar to hot dogs, this processed meat is tender and full of flavor. Cook it up and serve alongside some rice or pasta and veggies and you have a complete meal that is nutritious and kid-approved!

How To Make Pan Fried Kielbasa

Kielbasa bought from the store comes already cooked in the package, so you’ll just be browning it up. Start by chopping the kielbasa into evenly-sized slices.

Heat a skillet to high heat and drizzle in some olive oil. Add the kielbasa slices and wait for the pan to start to sizzle. Once you hear the oil sizzling in the pan, turn the heat down to medium high and give the kielbasa slices a stir with a spatula.

At this point, continue cooking for 6-8 minutes, or until the kielbasa is browned to your liking. Stir kielbasa every minute or so while cooking.

After it is done cooking, use a spoon to carefully move kielbasa from the skillet to a serving plate.

Cooking Tips

• Chop kielbasa into slices about 1″ thick
• Olive oil is totally optional in this recipe (especially if you use a nonstick pan), but it does add flavor to the kielbasa
• When removing the kielbasa from the skillet, try to leave most of the cooking grease behind

How Long To Cook Kielbasa On The Stove?

Heat at medium high for about 6-8 minutes, depending on how brown you want the kielbasa. While cooking, turn the whole kielbasa (or slices) frequently to cook evenly and prevent burning.

What To Serve With Pan Fried Kielbasa

Kielbasa pairs well with hearty sides, such as Roasted Sweet Potatoes And Apples In Air Fryer, Instant Pot Cinnamon Apples (for a sweet & savory combination), or Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes.

If you’re aiming for a low carb dish that’s high in flavor, you could serve the kielbasa with Air Fryer Spicy Zucchini, Sautéed Broccoli, or Kale Salad Recipe With Raisins And Sunflower Seeds.
