NOT a light recipe!

We had a "potluck lunch" day at work today, and while I stayed away from the donuts, I did eat about 800 calories more than I normally would for breakfast and lunch!  It'll be a bowl of cereal for dinner tonight!

Anyway, my go to recipe for these types of events is a BBQ Kielbasa recipe.  It's relatively cheap, and easy to make and everyone loves it.  It is not my creation, I got it from a guy I met years ago.

Ingredients:
 

3 lbs. kielbasa

1 large sweet or Vidalia onion (thinly sliced)

2 large or 3 small bell peppers (thinly sliced)

sliced mushrooms (Optional)

2 or 3 cloves crushed garlic

2 tbs brown sugar

14 1/2 oz can tomato sauce

1 bottle bbq sauce

10 "squirts" soy sauce

Tabasco sauce to taste (optional - I use about 3 or 4 "squirts")

Basil, oregano to taste

One bay leaf

2 tbs extra virgin olive oil 

Preparation

Cut kielbasa into bun size lengths, cover with water and bring to boil.  Continue boiling for 10 minutes.

In a large pot, heat oil, add garlic, onions, pepper and lightly sauté.

Add rest of ingredients (except kielbasa) and cook about 10 minutes.

Combine all ingredients in crock pot, cook on low 4-5 hours

I've had it on rolls like hot sausage and I've eaten it by itself, either way it's good!
