How to Make Crock Pot Sweet And Sour Kielbasa
- Slice 1 lb kielbasa into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of your favorite sweet and sour sauce (store-bought or homemade), 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
- Place the sliced kielbasa in your slow cooker.
- Pour the sweet and sour sauce mixture over the kielbasa, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
