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 the sausages 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.
Prepare the sauce by combining the remaining ingredients in a bowl; whisk until smooth. Pour the sauce over the reserved sausages in the casserole dish.
