# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The kielbasa creates its own rich broth as it slow cooks infusing every green bean and potato with incredible depth
  • You can prep everything in ten minutes then walk away until dinner time
  • It is one of those rare meals that tastes even better as leftovers the next day
02 -
  • Dont skip the smoked paprika because it transforms this from ordinary to extraordinary with just one teaspoon
  • The broth should almost cover the vegetables but not completely submerge them or you will end up with soup instead of a stew
03 -
  • Cut your green beans and potatoes into similar sizes so nothing turns to mush before everything else is done
  • Turkey or chicken sausage work great if you want something lighter without sacrificing flavor
