Candied Kielbasa

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar*
• 3/4 cup ketchup*
• 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 3 pounds kielbasa sausage, sliced thin

* I use Splenda Brown Sugar substitute & Heinz Low-Sodium Ketchup without any noticeable differance in taste.

Directions

1. In a slow cooker combine the sugar, ketchup and horseradish. Add the sausage, and mix well. Cook on High until it starts to boil. Reduce heat to Low, and cook until sauce thickens, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. As I said, I usually make this for Parties , so this serves 12.

Hi Pat & Bogdan,

Yes Pat , I noticed that Bogdan was going to get his wife to help him. That's perfectly fair. I used to let my Wife help me as well, but I simply don't have a Wife any longer to help me, and I still love to eat. LOL!

Bogdan here's another Kielbasa recipe that's too easy not to try. It's a delicious, minimal prep recipe to serve either as a side dish with dinner, or for company!
