I love real Kielbasa. There's a place in Pennsylvania off of the 81 freeway an hour north of Harisburg at a place called Kovelenicks Keilbasa Shop. It's about 10 minutes from the freeway in this small coal mining town of Shenandoah, on the left as you enter the town. If anyone is near this area, I tell you, you must go and try their Keilbasa. It's a 100 year old recipe that's still made the same way. There is nothing like their sausage. When we go near there, we bring a cooler and buy 20 or more rings and freeze them. They'll even wrap the kilbo in freezer paper for you as part of the sale.

2. Cook noodles in 2 quarts boiling water for 2 minutes. Add broccoli; cook an additional 3 minutes. Drain.
3. Combine milk, soup, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, and cream cheese in a large bowl. Stir well with whisk. Add noodle mixture, ham, and carrot. Stir well. Divide into two (8") greased casserole dishes. (I only made one big one b/c I used less noodles.)
