Kielbasa and Brussels Sprouts

YIELD: 3 servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound frozen brussels sprouts
• 1 pound kielbasa, sliced into 1-inch pieces

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2.  Place the frozen sprouts on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the kielbasa over the sprouts, to let the juices flow over them. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for 15 additional minutes, if you like your kielbasa browned.
