Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 pounds kielbasa (2 ropes)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp dried minced onions
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Spray the bottom of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier.
- Slice kielbasa: Cut the kielbasa into ½-inch thick slices and place them evenly into the slow cooker.
- Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and dried minced onions. Stir until well mixed to ensure the flavors meld together.
- Add sauce to kielbasa: Pour the sauce mixture over the sliced kielbasa in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat all pieces evenly.
- Cook low and slow: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours, until the kielbasa bites are heated through and flavors are well blended.
Notes
- For best flavor, use your favorite BBQ sauce or try smoky, spicy, or sweet variations.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Serve warm as a party appetizer with toothpicks or as a main course with rice or veggies.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat easily in the microwave or stovetop.
