How to Make Kielbasa With a Secret Ingredient

Megan Peterson

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.

    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.

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