Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa sausage into bite-sized rounds, approximately 1/2-inch thick, and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, and water. Whisk until the glaze is smooth and well mixed.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sliced kielbasa in a single layer. Sear the pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned.
Pour the prepared glaze over the kielbasa in the skillet. Stir the sausage pieces to coat them evenly with the glaze.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the kielbasa to simmer in the glaze for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and coats the sausage.
Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the bites for extra flavor.
Serve the kielbasa bites hot with toothpicks for easy grabbing. Enjoy!
