How to Make Kielbasa With a Secret Ingredient

Whenever I’m going to a party, I always say “I’m bringing Kielbasa!” Knowing Kielbasa is Polish sausage, people look at me like I’m nuts, but they don’t have a clue what they’re in for. When I put the kielbasa out, it is gone in minutes.

I cook it a unique way to get this caramelized sizzle, which is a crowd pleaser every time. The secret? I cook it in Sprite.

Sizzlin' Kielbasa

• Step 1

  Slice a ring of Kielbasa like you would pepperoni, about a quarter inch thick.

  

• Step 2

  Place your slices of kielbasa in a frying pan.

  

• Step 3

  Ignite stovetop on high heat.

  

• Step 4

  Pour a can of Sprite over the Kielbasa.

  

• Step 5

  Adjust the heat to avoid splatter, allow the Kielbasa to cook in the Sprite, and stir occasionally. Sprite will caramelize about 25 minutes into cooking.

  

• Step 6

  Depending how well done you like your meat, continue to stir.

  

• Step 7

  Transfer to a dish and have at it with toothpicks.
