Recipe: Burnt Ends Kielbasa

There are a ton of Burnt Ends Hot Dog recipes out there, and they’re really great! For our Country Smoke House version, we like to use Kielbasa instead for a more robust flavor. Here we’re using our house made Roasted Kielbasa, but your favorite flavor will work too. Don’t be afraid to mix it up!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• 1 PACK OF ROASTED KIELBASA
• OLE SMOKEY BBQ SAUCE
• STEVE’S BUTT AND BRISKET RUB
• YELLOW MUSTARD
• HOT JALAPENO MUSTARD AS DIPPING SAUCE

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Cut the kielbasa in half, lengthwise and generously coat with mustard. Season with Steve’s Butt and Brisket Rub, and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (we sometimes let it sit overnight).

2. Sear the kielbasa. You can do this in a pan, or on the grill. The kielbasa is already fully cooked so we’re just looking to get some nice caramelization and crispy texture with this step. Give each side about 5 - 10 minutes, or until you get the texture you like.

3. Remove from heat and let cool, slice the kielbasa on the bias to about ½” sections. Make this thinner or thicker as you like, but try to stay consistent for even cooking.

4. In a bowl add your Ole Smokey BBQ Sauce and mix until coated.

5. Put the sauced kielbasa on a baking sheet, try not to crowd too much. Bake in a 350º F oven for about 20 minutes or until the sauce begins to caramelize. Like it extra crispy? Go a little longer, and flip and stir as needed (You can also do this step on the grill using direct flame or indirect heat.).

6. Remove from oven (or grill), season with a little salt and pepper, garnish with chopped scallions and serve with Country Smoke House Hot Jalapeno Mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Variations

Get creative! You can use any of our Kielbasa for this dish, and we have a huge selection of sauces and mustards, and garnish to experiment with. Use our Andouille with Steve’s Cajun Seasoning, or our Holiday Kielbasa with Creamy Garlic Dip.
