Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 16 oz kielbasa sausage cut into 0.5-inch rounds
  • 0.75 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup grape jelly
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard or spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, optional garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Slice the kielbasa into 0.5-inch rounds and place them in the bottom of a 4- or 6-quart slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, grape jelly, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
  • Pour the glaze over the sliced kielbasa and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours, stirring once halfway through. If short on time, cook on HIGH for 1.5 hours, checking to ensure the glaze is not burning.
  • Give the kielbasa a final stir to coat with the thickened glaze. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with toothpicks.

Notes

Make ahead: Prepare the glaze and store separately; combine and heat in the slow cooker before guests arrive. Leftovers keep 3–4 days refrigerated.
