This is a great recipe that is a hit at all of our family parties. My dad has been making it for years. I recommend making it a couple of days in advance so the kielbasa "marinates" for a while. Refrigerate and then reheat when needed. Warning- that when refrigerated the sauce congeals a bit and looks pretty unappetizing. Once heated it goes back to normal and is delicious!

These are very good and so easy to make. I gave stovetop directions, but I also put them in the crockpot on low for the day.

Tips:

Always start with high quality Polska Kielbasa: Look for ones made with real pork, not mechanically separated meats, and avoid ones that contain too much filler.
Don't boil or fry your kielbasa. This will make it tough and dry. Instead, cook it slowly over low heat to allow the flavors to develop.
Slice your kielbasa into 1-inch pieces before cooking. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from curling up.
Use a variety of liquors to infuse your kielbasa with flavor. Beer, wine, whiskey, and brandy all work well.
Add some vegetables and spices to your drunken kielbasa. This will help round out the flavors and make it a more complete dish.
Serve your drunken kielbasa with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and roasted vegetables are all great options.
