We absolutely love cheese in our house. It is my go to snack and I can always find a way to work it into a recipe! This Mushroom Kielbasa Pasta Bake is no exception! This is a family favorite and I make it at least once a month! It is easy and can feed a crowd if you double the recipe!
Mushroom Kielbasa Pasta Bake is kid friendly too! I want to adapt the recipe and add some crushed red pepper flakes to it! I live with people who do not like spice! LOL! I on the other hand love a little heat in my food! The cream in this dish will help tame the the heat a bit!
I like to slice the sausage on a bias to give it a larger surface to cook.
I like to brown the sausage a bit to give it some texture! Then add the onions, garlic and mushrooms!
The addition of Kraft Naturally Shredded Cheeses make this dish not only delicious, but I love that I don’t have to shred cheese so it saves me some time!
I also find that Kraft Naturally Shredded Cheese melts beautifully! Creamy and gooey! YUM!
Just look how yummy it is!
I also love that I can find Kraft Naturally Shredded Cheese at my local Walmart! I like to shop early in the morning I feel like I have the store all to myself!
And there is always a great selection of Kraft Naturally Shredded Cheese!
