what for dinner 10/19/10:Potato Kielbasa Skillet with buttered Spaghetti Squash

Tonight's Feingold friendly meal was a hit with the family...Potato Kielbasa Skillet with spaghetti squash w/ butter and cheese.

 Potato Kielbasa Skillet
Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound red potatoes, cubed
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3/4 pound smoked kielbasa or Polish sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar (I used rice vinegar)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 4 cups fresh baby spinach
• 5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

• Place potatoes and water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes or until tender; drain.
• In a large skillet, saute kielbasa and onion in oil until onion is tender. Add potatoes; saute 3-5 minutes longer or until kielbasa and potatoes are lightly browned.
• Combine the brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, thyme and pepper; stir into skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Add spinach and bacon; cook and stir until spinach is wilted. 

 VERDICT: My family loved this but for me it was a little to sweet and too much fat.  I would probably next time half the oil and spray with cooking spray to saute and I didn't think the bacon did anything for it but overall it was good.
