Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine ingredients: Place the sliced kielbasa in the baking dish. Add the brown sugar, ketchup, and prepared horseradish. Stir everything together until the kielbasa is fully coated with the glaze.
- Bake the kielbasa: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking and caramelization. You can remove it once it reaches your preferred level of darkness and crispness, typically between 70 and 90 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the candied kielbasa hot over white rice, egg noodles, or your favorite pasta to create a complete meal.
Notes
- Stirring every 30 minutes helps to evenly distribute the glaze and prevent sticking or burning.
- Adjust baking time to achieve your desired caramelization level.
- Serve with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
