Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Kielbasa, sliced into bite-size coins Any fully cooked kielbasa works best, smoked for deeper flavor.

  • 1 cup Grape jelly Can be swapped for apricot preserves or cranberry sauce for a twist.
  • 1 pinch Chili flakes Optional, for a bit of heat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spray the slow cooker insert lightly to ease cleanup.
  2. Add the sliced kielbasa to the slow cooker.
  3. In a bowl, stir together BBQ sauce and grape jelly until mostly smooth, then pour over the kielbasa.
Cooking
  1. Cook on LOW for about 3 to 4 hours or HIGH for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring once or twice if possible.
  2. Once the sauce is glossy and the kielbasa is warmed through, switch the cooker to WARM for serving.

Notes

Serve with toothpicks, keep a spoon nearby for extra sauce. This dish is perfect for potlucks and can be kept warm easily.
