Excellent flavor. I also cut the brown sugar in half, but the taste was perfect. If you like the sweet and sour pork at a Chinese restaurant, you'll love this. Let it cook for hours, and then put it over brown rice. I loved it that night and then took it to work for a few days for lunch. Excellent!

Good recipe, but needs modifications to make it 5 star. I used 1 cup ketchup and 1 cup chili sauce. I reduced the brown sugar to 3/4 cup and that was plenty sweet. I also added a chopped onion and green bell pepper. I served over rice and it was very good. It does make a lot of sauce. Next time, I may add corn starch to thicken as others have suggested.

I love kielbasa and recently I have fallen in love with my slow cooker as well. What I didn't like about this recipe was the fact that it contains pineapples. I read the other reviews and decided to cut the sugar in half and I decided to add an onion. After I threw everything in the crock pot it just didn't look spicy enough. I added 1 tbls of Caribbean spice. I took this as kind of a potluck dish to another family members dinner. The idea being that if this tasted awful we would still have another dinner to fall back on! There was no need for worry, this dish was amazing. I served it over basmasti rice and it was absolutely delicious. I will make this again and try it with shrimp next time, maybe even chicken.

A nice easy recipe. I followed a few of the suggestions in the reviews -- I cut the brown sugar to 1 cup, and instead of adding everything to the slow cooker at once, I mixed the sugar, ketchup and juice from the canned pineapple in a mixing bowl then poured over everything in the slow cooker so that the tastes would be evenly distributed; I also added a few dashes of light soy sauce. I also added 2 cut up bell peppers (1 red, 1 green) and a couple of cups of sliced carrots to make it a one dish meal (so I wouldn't have to cook a separate veggie). Came out pretty good served over rice -- next time I may substitute bottled chili sauce for the ketchup (or maybe do a half and half) and see how that does. This recipe is a keeper.

Excellent taste, definitely the "potluck" style dish. Replace the ketchup with a good bbq sauce and halve or even quarter the sugar for more of a dinner entree appeal. we made this on the stove due to time constraints instead of the slow cooker and I would have to reccomend it instead.

I'm not sure how to rate this recipe. The recipe is really good, the keilbasa tastes wonderful in this delectable sauce... but this shouldn't be cooked in a slowcooker. At the end of the 5 hours, I got sausage mush... which I should've expected because keilbasa is alreay cooked. Horrible in the slowcooker. Tried this again but heated the concoction up on the stove for a few minutes and it was delicious. Don't do this is a slow cooker!

Maybe it was our Kielbasa but cooking for this long made the texture or ours soft and grainy. Won't be making again. I much prefer to saute the same ingredients in a skillet.

Was a good dish.It has to be slow cooked as the recipe say's in order for the sausage to come out so tender, plus like a few of the others have said I cut down on the brown sugar. This dish is an "AGAINER"

This was a good recipe and I will use this again for a party or potluck. Like other reviewers, I cut the brown sugar in half. I also added some cornstarch to thicken the sauce as it was very thin. Edit: I doubled this recipe for a party and cooked it in the oven on low heat for a few hours. It turned out even better than the crockpot. The sauce was much thicker. I received tons of compliments and requests for the recipe. It was such a hit!

Yummy! Very sweet, which my family loves, but simple is what really makes it a keeper. We loved it served over rice and found that it cooks well in a covered stoneware baking dish if there isn't time for the slow cooker.

Well we just had it and let me tell you, the family loved it. My wife said that it wasn't something she would order out, but, if I wanted to make it 2-3 times a month she would love to eat it. We could absolutely see this made for our parties and family gatherings. Also, I also only used 3/4 cup brown sugar, added 1 med onion(diced up) and 1 green bell pepper (diced up)

This recipe is great for kids! But to make it easier the recipe can be changed to 1 package kielbasa sliced, 1 bottle of chili sauce, and 1 can crushed pineapples. It's so quick and easy to throw those three ingredients together you don't even have to measure. The pineapple chunks are too big for little mouths.

YUM!! I brought this for Potluck at work today and it was a HUGE HIT! I did revise with the advice of others- my changes: I used 3 links of sausage, 3/4cup of brown sugar, ADDED: 1 small onion sliced long and Thin, 1med green pepper sliced long and Thin. 1/4cup lemon juice. Threw all in crock pot and cooked on high for 2 hours, then on low for 1 hr. called it “Kielbasa Luau”. Thanks!
