How to Make Crocked Kielbasa
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Transfer the browned ground beef to your slow cooker.
- Add 1 lb kielbasa (sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds), 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the slow cooker.
- Stir to combine all ingredients.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the kielbasa is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
