Having lived in Poland for part of my childhood, my family loves Kielbasa! It's smoked Polish sausage made from any type of meat and is absolutely delicious in sandwiches! For this Kielbasa Sandwich recipe, I've paired it with several ingredients and a super simple and tasty homemade BBQ sauce.
Polish Kielbasa
Kielbasa is the name given to any type of meat sausage in Poland. It's smoked and ready to eat, but it's quite fun to fry it off before eating to get some heat through it and a touch of extra colour!
This Polish sausage can be eaten with a variety of things including sauerkraut, potato salad, casserole, rice, crispy onions, or placed in-between two gorgeously crispy pieces of bread. The latter is our focus for today's recipe, making a delicious Kielbasa sandwich filled with a homemade bbq sauce, sauerkraut, and red onions.
Homemade BBQ Sauce
I've never been a BBQ sauce addict, however, after making this sauce from scratch, I'm slowly finding myself using it more and more...
You'll need the following ingredients to create this tangy concoction:
- Ketchup
- Maple syrup
- Worcestershire sauce
- Tomato purée
- Garlic
- Paprika
- Pepper
- Mustard
- Rice wine vinegar

I set myself a challenge to explore and share sandwiches from around the world. Why? Because there is an abundance of sandwiches on this earth with their own unique fillings, bread type, and condiments. From the Francesinha in Portugal to Vada Pan in India, sandwiches are a way for us to encase flavours that we love in order to enjoy them wherever we may be.
