Hey guys!

Hope y’all had an awesome weekend.

July is flying by isn’t it? Tom and I have been really busy the last few weeks, but I think there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. One more busy week and then I’m hoping it’ll be smooth sailing.

I’m looking forward to some lazy beach days followed up by some sunset cocktails and appetizers on the back deck.

I’ve made these Maple Bourbon BBQ Kielbasa Bites a few times over the past few weeks and we REALLY enjoy them. They’re totally addictive!

The maple bourbon BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy, has a delicious bourbon flavor and it takes less than 15 minutes to whip up.

It’s an incredibly easy appetizer recipe to throw together quickly when you’ve got unexpected guests.

I bet you’ve already got most of the ingredients for the sauce in your fridge/pantry. Maple syrup, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar and a few spices.

And we’ve always got a bottle of bourbon on the bar cart because it’s Tom’s cocktail of choice.

Hope you guys add these to your summer entertaining menu. I know you’ll love ’em! Enjoy!

A few favorite summer appys here at the BHK are my Bacon and Fig Guacamole, my Crab Melts and my BLT Phyllo Pizza.

 

A Few Cook’s Notes for Maple Bourbon BBQ Kielbasa Bites Recipe:

I use two Hillshire Farms 12-oz. rings of Beef Polska Kielbasa for this recipe.

You can either cook the sliced kielbasa in a skillet on the stove or grill the rings whole and then slice on the diagonal before adding the maple bourbon BBQ sauce.

    Looks good. Can I use another Kielbasa other than beef? I know I have some Polish pork kielbasa in the refrigerator.

      Hi Brenda. If you’re not a fan of bourbon, you can just omit it.
