These Crockpot Sweet and Spicy Kielbasa Bites are perfect party food and couldn’t be easier to make. To make it, you simply arrange slices of kielbasa sausage in a crockpot. After whipping-up the kicked-up sauce you drizzle it evenly over the top and the rest is up to the slow cooker. Serve these kielbasa bites straight from the slow cooker with toothpicks for easy eating on game day or any day that bite size morsels are on the menu.

Crockpot Sweet and Spicy Kielbasa Bites

There are certain types of food that have earned the name “party food” at our house.  Things like wings, subs, queso and tortilla chips,  crudite, dips and chips and the list goes on and on. These kielbasa bites are perfect party food and are ever-so-simple to put together. I tend to serve these as an alternative to meatballs, which are on the top of the list of hot favorites for snacking. In fact, this same sauce would work well with meatballs, too.

No-Fuss Entertaining

Kielbasa bites are the epitome of easy stress free entertaining. The sweet and spicy sauce is the perfect crowning touch and can be easily adapted if you need to make a larger or a smaller batch. If you consider yourself saucy, feel free to double the ingredients. Regardless, you can’t go wrong. If you’re looking for another fun way to enjoy kielbasa in the summer months, try turning it into kabobs like these Hawaiian Kielbasa Kabobs from The Seasoned Mom.

    Thanks for the great looking recipe! Are these pretty sweet? Is 1 tsp vinegar enough to cut through the sweetness of the preserves? Thanks again
