There were just 2 of us, but me and my husband polished off the entire pot!

When family gathers around the dinner table, there’s nothing quite like a dish that’s both heartwarming and satisfying. Slow Cooker Candied Kielbasa is one of those recipes that, while simple, brings a sweet and savory magic to any meal. Its origins might not be steeped in history, but it represents the best of home-cooked comfort found here in the Midwest, where kielbasa is a meat staple. You may want to make this especially during fall or winter gatherings, game days, or anytime you’re in the mood for a hearty dish that is both a crowd-pleaser and a time-saver.

To complement the sweetness and richness of the Candied Kielbasa, a side of creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice works wonders. If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, a crisp green salad or some roasted vegetables rounded out with a bit of apple cider vinegar make a delightful balance. And, don’t forget a stack of warm dinner rolls for soppin’ up that lovely sauce!
