How to Make Kielbasa Stew Crock Pot

  1. Fry 4 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside.
  2. Crumble the cooked bacon and place it in the bottom of a large slow cooker.
  3. Add 1 large chopped onion and 1 lb kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces, to the bacon drippings in the skillet. Cook until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the onions and kielbasa to the slow cooker.
  5. Add 2 cups beef broth, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped potatoes, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the slow cooker.
  6. Stir all ingredients together well to combine.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded.
  8. Before serving, stir in the crumbled bacon.
