Skillet Cheesy Sausage Chili Pie turns an average chili recipe into something extraordinary by swapping ground beef for Polska Kielbasa or smoked sausage and turning it into a skillet pie with an easy, cheesy biscuit topping all in a one-skillet meal!

Smoked sausage and Polska Kielbasa are regular items on my shopping list. I love the flavor and convenience. 

It makes getting dinner on the table so easy! I've served this rope sausage in all sorts of ways over the years, but swapping it for the ground beef in my Skillet Cheesy Chili Pie was pure genius!

My husband was delightfully surprised when I served this dish last week.  Fully expecting to bite into ground beef chunks, what he got instead, was flavorful bites of sausage...and that made him very happy!  

Happy enough to have two servings and request I pack up leftovers for his lunch the next day. I have to admit, I loved this sausage in this recipe as well. We both liked it so much it is destined to become a regular on dinner rotation in this house! 

This recipe could not be any easier to throw together on a busy weeknight! It's made all in one large skillet and, because the Hillshire Farm® Polska Kielbasa is fully cooked, comes together in about 30 minutes! 

Make sure you use a big skillet (at least 12") and one that is oven safe too.  You'll need to pop the skillet into the oven for a few minutes to bake up the biscuit topping. 

Let's get cooking! Start by sauteing up some diced onion and red pepper in a little olive oil until it begins to soften and become translucent. 

Next add some minced garlic and diced Polska Kielbasa and continue cooking until the sausage starts to brown. 

Add the cumin and chili powder and stir and cook a few minutes to release the flavors.

Next stir in the beans, tomatoes with juice, and a can of tomato sauce.  Stir well and top with  shredded Mexican blend cheese. 

Place large refrigerator dough biscuits on top of the cheese and bake until the biscuits are golden brown.  Top with some diced green onion for color and enjoy!
