Ingredients
- 2 pounds kielbasa sausage
- 12 ounces beer
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Directions
Step 1
Slice the kielbasa sausage into bite-sized rounds, about 1/2-inch thick.
Step 2
In a large skillet or pot, combine the beer, brown sugar, yellow mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce. Stir well to create a smooth sauce.
Step 3
Place the sliced kielbasa into the skillet or pot with the sauce and stir to coat the sausage evenly.
Step 4
Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the kielbasa simmer uncovered for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the sauce to reduce and caramelize, coating the kielbasa with rich flavor.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 7
Remove from heat and transfer the drunken kielbasa to a serving dish. Serve warm as an appetizer with toothpicks, or over rice or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.
