2 14oz.packages kielbasa sausage, fully cooked (or any smoked sausage that is fully cooked)
1cupbarbecue sauce
1/2 - 1tsp.chipotle sauce, optional
1cupapricot preserves
2Tbs.Worcestershire sauce
1.25oz.pkg. of your favorite chili seasoning
Instructions
Slice kielbasa sausages into 1 or 1 1/2-inch slices. Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat; when the pan is nicely hot, add a small drizzle of oil to the pan.
When the oil is sizzling, add the slices of kielbasa to the pan, working in batches, as needed, so that the sausages aren't crowded in the pan; brown on each side, then push them to one side of the skillet while you brown the remaining sausages.
Place the browned sausages into a casserole dish and reserve. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by placing the remaining ingredients into the same skillet used for browning the sausages, whisking until the sauce is combined and smooth; pour the sauce over the reserved sausages in the casserole dish.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the sausages, uncovered, for 18-22 minutes until hot throughout and the sauce is bubbly. Serve at once.
