BBQ Kielbasa Bites Ingredients
- 2 (14 ounce) kielbasa sausages, sliced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced dried onion
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the kielbasa bites.
- Make the Sauce Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce, brown sugar, minced dried onion, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, and Dijon mustard. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Toss Sausage in Sauce: Add the sliced kielbasa sausage into the sauce mixture bowl and toss well to ensure every piece is coated evenly with the sauce.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer the coated kielbasa slices into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading them out evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake the Kielbasa: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Stir the sausage bites once or twice during baking to promote even caramelization and prevent sticking.
- Achieve Caramelization: Continue baking until the sausage bites become nicely glazy and caramelized, with the sauce thickening and sticking to the meat.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnishing, and serve hot as a flavorful appetizer or snack.
