How full is the crockpot, can I do one or two months more packages of kielbasa?
Hi Tyson ~ if using a 5 – 6 quart crockpot, there should be plenty of space to at least double the recipe. 🙂
My family loves this over white rice with broccoli as a meal! Thanks so much!
That sounds delicious, Kara… what a great idea!
Is it good with just the BBQ, no ranch? Not a huge ranch fan
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:
https://thefrugalgirls.com/2014/10/crockpot-bbq-coca-cola-kielbasa.html
Hope that helps! 🙂
Do you think you could substitute the kielbasa with the lil smokies for this recipe?
Yes… absolutely! That would be delicious!!
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!
You’re very welcome, Kim! I’m so glad to hear it was delicious using Bratwurst, too!
Can I substitute with the ranch dip packet?
Hi MLR ~ yes… the ranch dip packet can be substituted. Enjoy!
what does 1.5 in cooking mean Iam new to cooking and I have never seen this.
Hi Andrew ~ 1.5 hours signifies 1 1/2 hours. Hope that helps!
This Kielbasa Bites looks very delicious, I will try do this for tonight, looks easy. Thanks for the recipe.
Your’e very welcome, Boyan… enjoy! 🙂
Is the sausage fully cooked when purchased?
Hi Ingrid ~ yes… it is fully cooked sausage, so you’ll just be heating it up in the crock pot. Hope that helps!
Making this for Friday night card night . Looks so easy and yummy , I’m tweaking it a little , by adding some pineapple chunks I had in the pantry , and some green bell peppers out my garden that needed to be used up ( way to many , will plant less next time , lol . )
Those sound like delicious additions, Christy! Have fun tonight! 😉
