1 cup heavy cream
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Prep your ingredients by chopping broccoli, dicing onion, and mincing garlic.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the kielbasa until golden brown (5-7 minutes). Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed. Sauté onions until translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant (1 minute).
Add broccoli florets and sauté until bright green and tender-crisp (4-5 minutes).
Lower heat; stir in heavy cream and let simmer gently for about 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return kielbasa to the skillet along with cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and well combined (2-3 minutes).
