Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until the glaze is smooth and well combined.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the kielbasa slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Pour the prepared glaze over the kielbasa in the skillet, stirring to coat all pieces evenly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the kielbasa to simmer in the glaze for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and adheres to the sausage.
Remove from heat and transfer the glazed kielbasa bites to a serving platter.
Serve warm with toothpicks for easy grabbing, or alongside crackers or bread as an appetizer.
