Ingredients
- 2 pounds kielbasa sausage
- 20 ounces pineapple chunks (with juice)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In the bowl of your crock pot, add the pineapple chunks along with their juice, brown sugar, ketchup, white vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Add the sliced kielbasa into the crock pot and stir until the sausage is evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 4
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and sauce distribution.
Step 5
Approximately 15 minutes before the cooking time is up, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
Step 6
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot and gently stir it into the sauce. This will thicken the sauce as it finishes cooking.
Step 7
Once the cooking time is complete and the sauce has thickened, turn off the crock pot and serve the sweet and sour kielbasa warm.
Step 8
Enjoy as an appetizer with toothpicks or serve over rice for a heartier meal.
