Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Mustard Hasselback Beef Kielbasa Bites featuring juicy kielbasa slices coated in a flavorful mustard sauce, baked to perfection with optional cheese and fresh herb garnish. Perfect as an appetizer or snack for gatherings and game days.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef kielbasa sausage
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or whole grain or honey mustard)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or gouda recommended)
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
  • Optional seasonings: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the kielbasa bites evenly.
  2. Prepare the Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa into 1-inch thick pieces. Make several slits across each piece, slicing almost down to the bottom but not cutting all the way through, creating a hasselback effect.
  3. Mix the Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and optional seasonings like garlic powder and paprika to create a tangy, flavorful coating.
  4. Coat the Kielbasa: Arrange the sliced kielbasa pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Generously brush the mustard mixture over each piece, making sure to get some into the slits for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the kielbasa is heated through and the edges start to become crispy.
  6. Add Cheese (Optional): If using cheese, sprinkle it over the kielbasa bites about 5 minutes before the baking time ends to allow it to melt nicely.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley or chives over the top. Serve immediately as a tasty appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute beef kielbasa with pork or turkey kielbasa according to your preference.
  • For a sweeter twist, use honey mustard instead of Dijon mustard.
  • Adding cheese is optional but recommended for extra richness and flavor.
  • Make sure not to slice all the way through the kielbasa to maintain its shape.
  • Serve with dipping sauces like ranch or a spicy mustard for added flavor.
