• 3. Stir in Le Sueur peas and corn; heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 4. Sprinkle with shredded cheese; cover and let stand until cheese is melted.
• 5. Substitution Ideas: Use Campbell's Cream of Celery, Cream of Mushroom or Cheddar Cheese soup. Use one can of Campbell's Beef Consommé soup plus enough water to equal 1 & 1/2 cups. Use beef or turkey smoked sausage. Add additional sliced and drained mushrooms, carrots, green beans or other type canned/cooked beans.

Steps:

• If the kielbasa is frozen, thaw it a little. Place fresh kielbasa in pot with 1 quartered onion, several peppercorns, garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon marjoram (optional) and half a bay leaf. The addition of spices helps replace the seasoning that boils out during cooking.
• Add enough boiling water to cover.
• Cover and simmer on very LOW heat for about 50-60 minutes. Too rapid boiling may cause the sausage to burst. DO NOT prick sausages; they become dry. Let cool in cooking liquid.
• Sausage comes out moist and delicious, but not brown.
• Can be frozen after cooking. Wrap very well. Vac seal if you can.
