Candied Kielbasa Bites — Sweet, Smoky, and Irresistible in 4 Ingredients!

Or maybe it’s just Tuesday.

Either way, you need a show-stopping appetizer that’s ready with almost no effort—and disappears faster than you can say “seconds, please!”

Enter Candied Kielbasa Bites: smoky, garlicky sausage glazed in a sticky-sweet sauce of brown sugar, ketchup, and horseradish, then baked until caramelized and glossy.

It’s the kind of dish that looks gourmet but takes 10 minutes to prep—and works just as well on a holiday platter as it does over rice for a cozy weeknight dinner.
