Why you are going to love our recipe for Smoked Sausage with Quinoa, Sun dried Tomato & Spinach

Are you looking for smoked sausage recipes that are on the healthier side? Our dinner featuring Hillshire Farms sausage is a delicious well balanced meal that is packed full of flavor and nutrients.

This Smoked Sausage Quinoa and Spinach recipe uses a Polska kielbasa along with super healthy spinach and quinoa for a one pot meal that the entire family will love!

What we love about this Smoked Sausage one pot meal is that you don't have to worry about smoking sausage to make it! There are tons of different types of smoked sausages in the stores: pork sausage, Italian sausage, andouille and more!

My opinion is that the best sausage for smoking is polska kielbasa, but you can use whatever you think the best smoked sausage is in our recipe. 

Check out the nutritional benefits of our one pot meal!

You don't have to be Popeye to eat your spinach! Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C and folate! Spinach is also a good source of manganese, magnesium, iron and vitamin B2. Vitamin K is important for maintaining bone health and it is difficult to find vegetables richer in vitamin K than spinach. Spinach is really a super powerhouse when it comes to nutrients!

If you are not keen on eating spinach, have no worries! Combined with all the other ingredients, you can barely taste it in there! The sun dried tomatoes provide Vitamin C, K, Iron and tons of antioxidants that can help prevent cancer. Sundried tomatoes are rich in flavor and adds a hint of sweetness to this smoked pork sausage recipe.

his recipe also calls for garlic, which I totally love! The smoked sausage and garlic add that boldness that we all long for and distributes all that wonderful flavor throughout the entire dish.

If you are weary of making quinoa, don't you worry! Quinoa is sorta like rice, as it does not have a whole lot of taste. I love the fact that all these flavors coat the quinoa and let's face it, it is much healthier than using white rice! 

The benefits of our Smoked Sausage one pot meal

Besides the fact that it's a nutritious meal, and easy to make, it also was very inexpensive! It was only about $12 bucks for all these ingredients and it served 4 HUGE portions! That's only $3 per person!

You can actually serve up to 6 people if you choose to add sides, like a fresh Cesar salad, bread sticks and so on. I bought a nice bottle of white wine to accompany this meal which went very well with it. 

This meal is perfect to make after a long day of work when you are in need of a nice meal. I actually made this meal for my daughter Angeline after her first day of work at her new job. I knew she would come home not only physically exhausted but mentally spent after all the stress that comes with starting a new job. 

The aroma of this recipe really gave that comforting "Welcome home" smell. She was so happy! As we sat down to eat and discuss how her day went, it almost reminded me of her first day of school. I know it sounds silly, but it's a Mom thing. This recipe was so delicious! Every bite was absolute perfection and I could taste a parade of flavors dancing around in my mouth.

I could taste each individual ingredient, but it also blended so very well together! I have to say this was a real winner and Angeline was pleasantly surprised as well. I hope you all love this recipe as much as I did and share with your friends and family.
