Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into making these delicious beans! First, I like to start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, I cook the sliced kielbasa until it’s nicely browned. The smell of the sausage sizzling in the pan is absolutely heavenly! Once browned, I remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside. Next, in the same skillet, I toss in the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing them until they’re soft and fragrant, which takes about 5 minutes. The sweetness of the onions combines beautifully with the smoky aroma of the sausage! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
