Ingredients

2 Packs Knorr Cheddar Broccoli Pasta 3 Cups Water 1 Cup Milk 2 tbsp butter 12 oz Smoked Beef Sausage (Kielbasa) 12 oz Frozen Broccoli Florets 2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded)

Instructions

  1. Slice sausage and cook in a large skillet until browned. Set aside.
  2. In the same pan, bring water, milk, and butter to a boil.
  3. Microwave broccoli for half the time on the package. Chop into smaller pieces if desired.
  4. Add pasta packets, sausage, and broccoli to boiling mixture.

  6. Turn off heat, add shredded cheese, and stir until fully melted.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheddar for a smoother melt. Frozen broccoli cuts time just don’t overcook it. Add crushed red pepper or garlic powder for a bold twist.
