Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs kielbasa sausage
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup prepared horseradish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Slice kielbasa into 1-inch pieces, then use chopsticks to make 1/4-inch hasselback-style slices on each piece without cutting all the way through.
  • Place sliced kielbasa in a baking dish.
  • Add brown sugar, ketchup, and horseradish to the dish. Stir to coat evenly.
  • Bake for 60–90 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until caramelized and edges are browned to your preference.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Hasselback slicing allows more sauce to caramelize in each bite. Adjust cook time based on preferred crispiness.
