Smoke Kielbaba with Rice

With a little bit of zip and just the right amount of smokiness, this sausage-and-rice medley is an easy way to please the gang. We loved it. I normally make kielbasa with a tomato sauce and then serve over noodles, but I wanted to switch it up a little and try something new with kielbasa. It was a great decision! You could also omit the rice and serve the sausage pieces as an appetizer with toothpicks for a party or gathering!
