Ingredients
1 pound kielbasa sausage
10 slices thin-cut bacon
1/2 cup honey mustard sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives
Toothpicks for assembly
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice kielbasa into bite-sized chunks and make 1/8-inch deep cuts across each piece, being careful not to slice all the way through.
3. Cut bacon strips into thirds. Wrap a piece around each kielbasa chunk and secure with a toothpick.
4. If using, sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar on each wrapped bite.
5. Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes or until bacon is crispy and kielbasa is heated through.
6. Mix honey mustard sauce (or use store-bought) and serve as a dip alongside the warm bites.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives before serving. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
For extra crispiness, broil the bites for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
To make your own honey mustard: mix 1/4 cup Dijon mustard with 1/4 cup honey.
These bites can be prepped ahead and baked right before serving—great for entertaining!
