Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage
- 3 cups barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 stalks, chopped (optional, for garnish) green onions
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced kielbasa to the skillet, and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping the pieces occasionally until they are browned and slightly crispy around the edges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Pour the BBQ sauce mixture into the skillet with the kielbasa and onions. Stir to coat all the pieces evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the kielbasa.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Serve warm as a main dish with rice or crusty bread, or as an appetizer straight from the skillet.
