Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Polish sausage (kielbasa)
- 20 ounces Pineapple chunks (canned, including juice)
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Slice the Polish sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the pineapple chunks with their juice, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well to create the sweet and sour sauce.
Place the sliced Polish sausage into the crock pot.
Pour the sweet and sour sauce mixture over the sausage, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
After the cooking time is complete, pour the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot and stir well to thicken the sauce.
Cover and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on HIGH until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Serve hot with rice, noodles, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
