Ingredients:

• 1 lb kielbasa, cooked,halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4 inch slices

• 2 small onions, separated into rings
• 1/2 cup red wine or 1/2 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme

Steps:

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl; transfer to an ungreased 3-quart baking dish.
2. Cover and bake at 375ºF for 60 to 70 minutes or until carrots are tender.
