      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. 🙂

      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:

      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!
