Zippy Kielbasa & Rice

Filled with tons of flavor and a bit of heat, this Zippy Kielbasa & Rice will warm and fill you up on a cold winter day.

You’ll love the simplicity of this one-pot skillet meal. No need to dirty lots of dishes to make it. The rice cooks right in the skillet with the rest of the ingredients.

This dish does have a little heat to it, so if you have littles, you may want to omit the ancho chile powder.
