Tyson says
How full is the crockpot, can I do one or two months more packages of kielbasa?
Heidi says
Hi Tyson ~ if using a 5 – 6 quart crockpot, there should be plenty of space to at least double the recipe. 🙂
Kara Z says
My family loves this over white rice with broccoli as a meal! Thanks so much!
Heidi says
That sounds delicious, Kara… what a great idea!
Mike T says
Is it good with just the BBQ, no ranch? Not a huge ranch fan
Heidi says
Hi Mike ~ yes… it tastes delicious with just the BBQ as well. You could skip adding the ranch if you’re not a fan. Or another option is to add in some Coca-Cola to the barbecue sauce, like this recipe here:

Hope that helps! 🙂
Kelly says
Do you think you could substitute the kielbasa with the lil smokies for this recipe?
Heidi says
Yes… absolutely! That would be delicious!!
Kim says
This was delicious! I was in a hurry when buying the ingredients and the store I went to didn’t have Kielbasa so I used Bratwurst. The casing it was in was pretty tough so I opted to remove the casing which was surprisingly easy. Once I removed the casing I cut them up and browned them before putting them in the crockpot. It was absolutely delicious and was a big hit! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Kim! I’m so glad to hear it was delicious using Bratwurst, too!
MLR says
Can I substitute with the ranch dip packet?
Heidi says
Hi MLR ~ yes… the ranch dip packet can be substituted. Enjoy!
