Cheesy Cheddar Kielbasa Rice

Quite enjoyed this dish. The roux came out a bit thick - the recipe states to add sour cream at the end but doesn’t have it in the ‘ingredients’ section. Not sure if that would make it more smooth? Would make again though.

Good! More rice than sauce and kielbasa, and not sure the point of making the roux when it would soak into the rice better without. Might add tomato to the cheese sauce next time and add some broccoli into the rice.

I made a double batch of kielbasa for the cup and a half of rice and a batch of the sauce that was 8x the amount it called for (a half cup of butter and everything scaled to match!). Definitely wanted leftover sauce and a bit of meat to heat up later and fresh rice is the best way to go. I would suggest adding some extra spices to the sauce as it is ok as written but better with some extra pizzazz. I'll edit with what I have added to future iterations so you can steal an idea for your own :)

Cheese sauce didn't turn out right. Sausage and Rice was good even by itself!

Sauce didn’t turn out right for me. Very bland and not smooth. We ended up adding broccoli, peanuts and using soy sauce. It was good!

Would make again but add more spices.

Will make it again. Next time I will cut the cheese sauce inhalf, it made a lot of extra.

It was only okay - it was pretty bland. If we make it again I’ll use more seasonings and maybe some hot sauce.

Sauce was a little thick, so I added more milk and some more salt to bring out the flavor. After pan frying the sausage (jalapeno cheddar from Target), I tossed the rice in the pan and fried it in the remaining sausage bits for more flavor. Saved the leftover sauce and will use it on hamburgers later in the week.
