Cheesy Smoked Sausage Skillet…a delicious dinner is ready in just 30 minutes!
We created this incredible Cheesy Smoked Sausage Skillet as part of a sponsored post for Hillshire Farm and Ahold USA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Growing up in a big Polish family, kielbasa and other smoked sausages were a frequent (and favorite) part of many family meals! Kielbasa is ‘in my blood’ – and today – it takes just one bite and I’m happily reminded of my childhood dinners.
So I am incredibly excited to partner today with Hillshire Farm and Ahold USA to share this easy-to-prepare, delicious Cheesy Smoked Sausage Skillet recipe with all of you.
Hillshire Farm is our go-to brand anytime we buy smoked sausage and kielbasa. And all Ahold USA Supermarkets (including Stop & Shop, Giant and Martin’s grocery stores) carry all of the brands I trust in a friendly, convenient atmosphere. I shop there because I know I will find all of the ingredients I need to prepare quick meals that my family loves.
Our recipe today uses Hillshire Farm Beef Polska Kielbasa – but any of Hillshire Farm’s other delicious smoked sausage products would be great in this Cheesy Smoked Sausage Skillet. Simply sauté diced russet potatoes, onions, and green bell pepper in a skillet – then add in your favorite sliced Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage. Finally, pour a simple and cheesy sauce over the top – and dinner is ready!
Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage is pre-seasoned, so even if you haven’t cooked with smoked sausage before, it adds quick, foolproof flavor to any recipe.
This Cheesy Smoked Sausage Skillet is pure comfort food with fantastic flavor. And – even better – it only takes about 30 minutes to get a delicious and filling dinner on the table for your family!

Cheesy Smoked Sausage Skillet
Cheesy Smoked Sausage Skillet…a delicious dinner is ready in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 pound russet potatoes (approximately one large potato)
- 1 cup diced onion, 1/2 inch dice (approximately one medium onion)
- 1 cup diced green bell pepper, 1 inch dice (approximately one medium pepper)
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 12–ounce package Hillshire Farm Beef Polska Kielbasa, cut into 1-inch half circles
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 pound sliced yellow American cheese, diced
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
- Small pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel and cut potatoes into one-inch dice and place in a bowl of water. Let sit in the water until the other ingredients are prepped and you are ready to cook.
- In a cast iron skillet, melt two tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil over medium high heat.
- Drain the potatoes, then add to the skillet along with the diced onions. Cover and cook for five minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, place milk, American and cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, mustard and nutmeg in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 90 seconds on high. Whisk the mixture together and microwave again just until the cheese melts and a cheese sauce is formed. Remove from the microwave. Hold for later.
- Add the remaining butter and green pepper to the potato mixture in the skillet and turn and mix using a spatula. Cook for 8 minutes turning occasionally with the spatula, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the smoked sausage, cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for two minutes covered and turn off the heat under the skillet. Pour cheese sauce into the skillet and stir to coat. Serve immediately.

I decided to try this recipe and it has great potential. The issue I had was that the only seasoning is in the cheese sauce. This works fine except for the potatoes. Next time I am going to soak the potatoes in salt or a chicken or beef broth. Other than that, this recipe was very delicious.
Thanks Karrie!
I want this for supper tonight! This looks amazing!
Oh my, that sausage and cheese looks fantasitc! I would love this over a huge bed of pasta!
Even though I have absolutely no Polish ancestry, I love Kielbasa. And the brand I always purchase is Hillshire Farm. Putting it on my shopping list now so I can make this delicious recipe for tomorrow.
I hope you enjoy the recipe Lana!
I could totally see why this is comfort food for you.
You make the most comforting looking food! I loved Hillshire Farm outlets in the malls when I was a kid.
Holy smokes. I want to dive into this head first!!
Thanks Ashley!
My mouth is just watering all over. This looks creamy and delicious!
Woah. Talk about comfort food! Great recipe!
This is pure comfort! My Dad’s side of the family is Polish so we grew up eating a lot of Kielbasa. I could say and spell kielbasa before I could practically spell my very long Polish (maiden) name. LOL.
LOL – sounds like me Paula (including the very long Polish last name!) 🙂
