04 - Return the browned kielbasa to the skillet. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the meat and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey garlic glaze caramelizes beautifully and coats every single bite
- Everything cooks in one pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
02 -
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the kielbasa or it will steam instead of brown
- The sauce will continue to thicken off the heat so remove from heat while it still looks slightly loose
03 -
- Cut all your vegetables into similar sized pieces so they cook evenly
- Have your sauce ready before you start cooking so you can add it immediately
