Sweet and Sour Kielbasa

By Addie

Here's a simple and budget-friendly recipe for kielbasa, slow cooked with pineapple chunks and a tangy vinegar and brown sugar sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks
• 2 pounds kielbasa
• 1 large onion, quartered, sliced
• 1 bell pepper, cut in chunks
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cider or balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

Preparation

Step 1

Drain pineapple chunks and reserve juice. Put chunks in the slow cooker. Cut kielbasa into 1- to 2-inch lengths; add to the slow cooker along with the onion and bell pepper.

Combine reserved juice with the cornstarch, stirring until smooth. Stir in the vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Pour over the kielbasa. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours.

MY NOTES:

Do not use a slowcooker. Just put it all in my Le Creuset Braiser, covered, and toss it into the oven for one hour at 350 degrees.
