Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds kielbasa, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 can (14 ounces) cranberry sauce
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Begin by preparing your slow cooker. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little oil to ensure easy cleanup.
Add the cut kielbasa pieces into the slow cooker, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, drained pineapple chunks, brown sugar, soy sauce, ground mustard, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Pour the cranberry mixture over the kielbasa, making sure to coat it thoroughly.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the kielbasa is heated through and the sauce is bubbling, it is ready to serve. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the kielbasa and sauce to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious appetizer!
