As far as ease and convenience, the next best thing to a crockpot dinner is a skillet meal. One complete supper; one skillet to clean. For all the kielbasa lovers out there, have I got a one pot wonder for you: kielbasa, rice, peas and mushrooms, topped with melted Cheddar cheese. The colorful medley of ingredients creates an enticing blend of complementary flavors. This irresistible dish is sure to satisfy the heartiest of appetites. So, skip the oven and go from stove top to tabletop in no time flat.
Slice kielbasa in 1/2-inch medallions.
Melt 1-1/2 Tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add kielbasa. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Add soup and water to same skillet. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
Add rice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 18 minutes.
Stir in peas and mushrooms. Cover and simmer for an additional 7 minutes. Stir. Increase heat to medium and cook, covered, for 8 minutes longer, or until rice is tender and peas are heated through. Stir again.
Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, cover and let stand 3 to 4 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

This looks terrific. I would just be concerned about all the processed foods in it. which is why it probably tastes so great I think I will adapt it with olive oil instead of butter and some fresh vegetables, because it really must be yummy! And that way it will be less likely to kill my hubby, who has heart condition. ;-)

Sounds like a perfect adaptation of this recipe. I like to "take shortcuts" now and then, so I also appeal to today's "busy mom" who is looking for faster meal prep ideas. This is one of those versatile meals that would taste even better "fresh!" :)
