Sweet and Sour crockpot kielbasa is a delicious and colorful family friendly dish. Sliced kielbasa, bell peppers, pineapple, onions cooked in a two ingredient sauce.
Crockpot kielbasa is one of the first slow cooker meals I can remember making. It was a recipe my mom gave me before I headed off to college.

Such a tasty dish! It lasts long when stored & only tastes better when I do! One of my husband’s favorites.
Hi, how would you adapt this meal for an instant pot or skillet meal? I’m gone for 10 hours each day, so I worry about leaving it that long.
I made this dish at the beginning of the Covid quarantine. It was quick and easy and the final dish was excellent. I served it over riced cauliflower. The husband loved it. I am back to print the recipe and make it again today.
So happy you enjoyed it!
do you you cook this on high or low for 4 hr..
You can cook on low for this recipe. The Kielbasa cook pretty fast.
