### **Ingredients for Crockpot Kielbasa Bites**
This recipe requires just a few basic ingredients, most of which you probably already have in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:
– **1 pound Kielbasa** (cut into bite-sized pieces)
– **1/2 cup barbecue sauce** (your favorite brand or homemade)
– **1/4 cup honey** (for sweetness)
– **1/4 cup Dijon mustard** (for a tangy kick)
– **1 tablespoon soy sauce** (for depth of flavor)
– **1 teaspoon garlic powder** (for seasoning)
– **1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika** (optional, for a smoky flavor)
– **1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar** (to balance the sweetness)
### **How to Make Crockpot Kielbasa Bites**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Kielbasa**
Start by slicing the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2-inch thick. If you prefer smaller or larger pieces, feel free to adjust. The size of the pieces will determine how quickly they cook, but typically 1/2-inch pieces work best.
#### **Step 2: Prepare the Sauce**
In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), and apple cider vinegar. Stir everything together until well mixed. This sweet and tangy sauce will coat the kielbasa and give it a delicious, sticky glaze.
#### **Step 3: Add Kielbasa and Sauce to the Crockpot**
Place the sliced kielbasa into your Crockpot. Pour the prepared sauce over the sausage, ensuring the pieces are evenly coated. Give it a gentle stir to mix the kielbasa with the sauce. The sauce will slowly thicken and infuse the sausage with flavor as it cooks.
**Step 4: Cook the Kielbasa Bites**
Cover the Crockpot and set it to **low heat**. Cook the kielbasa for about **3 to 4 hours**, or until the sausage is heated through and has absorbed the flavors of the sauce. The sauce will become thicker and more concentrated, creating a perfect glaze for the kielbasa.
