Description

Star Spangled Kielbasa Bites are a quick and savory appetizer featuring smoky kielbasa slices glazed in BBQ sauce and skewered with festive red, white, and blue elements—perfect for 4th of July parties and patriotic gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (red)
  • 1 cup mozzarella balls or cubes (white)
  • 1 cup blueberries (blue)
  • Toothpicks or small skewers


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix barbecue sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard.
  3. Place kielbasa slices in a baking dish or skillet and pour glaze over them. Toss to coat.
  4. Bake or cook for 10–15 minutes, turning once, until kielbasa is caramelized and heated through.
  5. Let kielbasa cool slightly, then skewer each slice with a blueberry, mozzarella ball, and cherry tomato to create a red, white, and blue stack.
  6. Arrange bites on a platter and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use a grill instead of the oven for extra smoky flavor.
  • Can be made ahead and served chilled or at room temperature.
  • Try spicy kielbasa for a bold twist.
