SPICY MUSTARD KIELBASA BITES



Spicy Mustard Kielbasa Bites image

I had a 5-pound package of kielbasa that I wanted to use for an appetizer and went in search of something simple that I could prepare early in the day. Boy did I find a winner! The recipe is from FBNR.com (Favorite Brand Name Recipe web site). I highly recommend doubling or tripling the recipe, otherwise you'll be sorry when it disappears quickly and your guests are looking for more. If you have extra sauce, save it and use it to dip chicken nuggets or wings. I changed the directions to make this a more hostess-friendly recipe that can be prepared ahead of time and served hot in a small crock pot. Using a crock pot also makes it easier to prepare this at home and bring it to a party. You can play with the amount of honey. I think it could easily be decreased a bit to lower the calories and the hot sauce could be increased.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: For the best results, select a high-quality kielbasa that is made with fresh, flavorful meat. Look for a sausage that is evenly browned and has a firm texture.
  • Preheat your grill: Before you start cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the sausage from sticking to the grates and will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Cook the sausage slowly: Kielbasa is a thick sausage, so it takes a little longer to cook than other types of sausage. Be patient and cook it slowly over medium-high heat until it is cooked through. This will help to prevent the sausage from drying out.
  • Baste the sausage with sauce: While the sausage is cooking, baste it with your favorite barbecue sauce. This will help to keep the sausage moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the sausage with your favorite sides: Kielbasa can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or grilled vegetables. It can also be used as a topping for a sandwich or pizza.
