Ingredients:
2 pounds kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
Arrange the sliced kielbasa evenly in the slow cooker.
In a mixing bowl, blend brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Drizzle the mixture over the kielbasa, ensuring an even coating.

Before serving, stir the kielbasa to re-coat it in the sauce.
Serve directly from the slow cooker, making sure each portion has ample sauce.

Introduce red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
Incorporate chopped apples for a fruity note.
