very good and yummy! I used only 3/4 cup of brown sugar and it was very sweet! I also added onions, like someone suggested... great add! It was very delicious over white rice, but this recipe seems more of an appetizer versus a main dish. I would make it again, but not on a regular basis

I use Heinz Chili Sauce instead of ketchup (more savory) and I brown the sausage before putting it into to the crock... then all the cook time in the slow-cooker is used for is to allow the brown sugar, pineapple and sauce to co-mingle with the kielbasa. Always the first to disappear at any potluck event.

My family enjoyed this recipe. I cooked on the stovetop rather than the slow cooker as mine would have been plugged in about 9 hours. I only had 1# of kielbasa so I halved the recipe, but needed to stretch it a little further, so I added some steamed carrots, and red & yellow peppers. We liked the sauce the ketchup and brown sugar made and it thickened up nicely on the stovetop. I served this over white sticky rice along with "Sweet Restaurant Slaw" from this site. The meal was delicious and I will be making it again.

I love this recipe! I did cut down the brown sugar to 1 cup as everyone suggested... and instead of putting everything together I fried the kielbasa (thankyou to the person who reviewed that it turned to mush when kept in the slow cooker...when reading the recipe I thought that may happen as well!) separately then added it to the sauce after it was finished cooking. I only cooked the sauce for 2 hours. I did add 1 green pepper and a half of a large yellow onion chopped big...the lower cook time allowed the vegies to remain crisp and the extra kielbasa (I used 3 packages) used up all of the sauce nicely. I kept in the refrig. over night and set the crockpot for warm the next day! I used this as an appetizer while we were waiting for Thanksgiving dinner! It was all gone with-in 2 hours...everyone loved it! Thankyou all...for the wonderful recipe... and the excellent reviews that led to such an amazing appetizer! I should also let you know that I just bought the Hamilton Beach set and go slow cooker about a month ago and love it. Except for the probe...it's not long enough to reach the smaller pieces of meat...other then that it's great...I love the lock on lid...and the three different modes. I only tell you all this because I researched alot of crock pots/ slow cookers...and their reviews...and thought I could hopefully save anyone else the trouble. Anyway enjoy this great recipe! Thankyou all again!
