Crockpot Kielbasa Appetizer: A mouthwatering combination of smoky kielbasa, sweet brown sugar, tangy Dijon mustard, and a hint of spiciness from red pepper flakes. Easy to make in the slow cooker, this dish is perfect for parties and game day gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds kielbasa (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup apple sauce
  • 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. 1

    Startby slicing the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces or rounds.

  2. 2

    Place the sliced kielbasa at the bottom of your crockpot, creating an even layer.

  3. 3

    Pour the brown sugar, apple sauce,Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes directly into the crockpot over the kielbasa. Stir to combine the ingredients together.

  4. 4

    Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to the desired cooking temperature. You can cook the kielbasa appetizer on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Cooking on low for a longer duration allows the flavors to meld and the kielbasa to become more tender.

  5. 5

    If possible, stir the kielbasa mixture occasionally during the cooking process to ensure that the sauce is evenly distributed and prevents sticking or burning.

  6. 6

    Once the kielbasa is tender, and the sauce has thickened to your liking, your appetizer is ready to serve. You can use toothpicks for easy serving or transfer it to a serving dish for a more formal presentation.
