Polish Kielbasa

My mom used to make kielbasa when I was young. I found a recipe online for it, and switched it up a bit to fit my kids tastes. They loved it!


Kielbasa
1 bottle of beer
1 1/2 cups chicken broth reduced sodium
1 onion chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
3 large carrots chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
2 pounds Kielbasa sausage, links
Salt
pepper
2 tbs butter
2 tbs flour
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tbs sugar
2 tbs finely chopped parsley
6 large red potatoes sliced in 1/2 inch slices


In a large saucepan, over medium heat, combine the beer, broth, onions, peppers, carrots, garlic and sausage. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 25 minutes.
Remove the sausage from the pan and cool completely.(they are easier to cut when cooled down)
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the flour and cook for 4 to 6 minutes for a light brown roux. It will be kind of crumbly looking.
Stir in the vinegar, sugar and the reserved beer and onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer and continue to cook until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 15 - 20 minutes.
Boil sliced potatoes for 15 min or until fork tender.
Slice the sausage into 1 -inch pieces, add them to the pot and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
Drain potatoes and layer in a large serving dish.
Pour Kielbasa mixture over top of potatoes.
Garnish with parsley.
