We’re offering the tastiest new twist on traditional kielbasa, which was inspired by @vics_tricks_to on TikTok. These sweet and smokey sausage bites are a crowd-pleasing new twist on small smokies since they are double baked in a brown sugar and mustard sauce.

Ingredients
- 12 ounces kielbasa sausage
- 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut kielbasa into 3 to 4 large sections, then each section in half lengthwise. Slice each section into half moons about a half-inch long.
- Combine brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, and pepper in a medium saucepan. Set over low heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved completely. Stir in kielbasa.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. With a slotted spoon, transfer the kielbasa pieces from the pot and spread evenly over the parchment paper. Set aside leftover sauce in the pot.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, then carefully lift up the parchment paper and funnel kielbasa pieces back into the pot of sauce. Stir to coat again, then repeat the process of putting the kielbasa pieces back on the parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake for another 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve with toothpicks.
Reviews
I liked the idea, but cooking it in the oven made it become sticky like a candy apple. It stuck to my teeth and I didn’t enjoy eating the flavorful Kielbasa because I was picking sticky brown sugar off of my teeth.
Loved it!!
