My family's Kielbasa recipe, one of the best Polish sausages.

This kielbasa recipe was written down by my grandpa in 1966 (though it has been in the family longer) and there are three main processes needed in order to make Kielbasa, #1 is combining the spices and meat, #2 is stuffing the kielbasa into casings, and #3 is smoking the kielbasa. Once you break it down, it's really not that hard to do.

It's kinda weird but as a Polish chef, I gotta admit your video is one of the best I've seen so far about making kiełbasa.

Dude... I am Polish from Poland and had no idea how kielbasa is made... This was dope. Now, I realized that I need a smoker. And a meat grinder. And the stuffer. And all that jazz :D Thanks <3

Ethan, I made 7lbs of this recipe yesterday. Hands down the best kielbasa I have ever had. Spicing is spot on and absolutely delicious. This will be my go to homemade kielbasa recipe from now on. Thank you so much for sharing!

[piotrjargilo]

its beautiful to see you have kept your grandfather's Polish kiełbasa legacy alive

[Protoleviatan]

I'm from Poland and I make kiełbasa by myself. I have to admit that you do it professionally and take care of the details. 👍
Kiełbasa in Poland has a different composition depending on the region. There are many recipes for traditional white kiełbasa, many for smoked kiełbasa, plenty for thick, steamed...
Good job. Let Polish kiełbasa go into the world. 😁

When I was a boy (some 50 years ago), every Christmas season my Uncle would take me up to a Polish section of Camden, New Jersey where he would buy homemade kielbasa. It was absolutely delicious, and no brand name kielbasa that I've tasted since then even comes close.

This brings back memories of when I would help my grandad with making kiełbasa ..haven't been to Poland in over 10 years brings back good memories

I'm from rural north-eastern Czechia, our culture and Polish culture are similar and even more intertwined here. Kielbasa, or as we call it - klobása is hands down my no. 1 favorite meat product and I can tell you got it just right. Even the marjoram, which I feel is way too underrated and underappreciated outside of Europe. I'm so happy you're putting this food into the spotlight. People deserve some good kielbasa on their plates.

I'm Polish and I love seeing these Slavic recipes you make. Reminds me of holidays with my family. Thank you and keep up the good work.

This was my first time making any kind of sausage. I chose your recipe because it looked like the best one I've seen. Your video explained everything so well. Well, I made about 10lbs of this Kielbasa and smoked it my little Masterbuilt smoker. I can't tell you how good this came out, especially for a first time sausage maker. Everyone in the family raved about it. Some even said it was the best kielbasa they have ever had, and this was from some people who have eaten some of the best local kielbasa. One person gave me money for supplies, and ask me to make a batch for them to give out as Christmas presents. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

This is just amazing. I'm a Pole from a small rural town. My parents used to chip in with some neighbors to buy a pig an hire a butcher, who would, over the course of few days, do all kinds of stuff out of the whole piggy. The amazing bacon, juicy liver, the dried and/or the smoked kielbasa (which looks AMAZINGLY similar to the one in the video, both inside and outside). Great flavors, hard to find. Its just great that you guys are doing it over the ocean. Do not loose the recipe, I dare you! Keep on the good work and I wish all the best to you and your family!

Great video! Dr. Smokehouse (Jim Chlebowski) is the man, such a great advocate for old school traditional butchery and charcuterie.

[TomekSw]

I'm Polish and 45 and never heard that kiełbasa is enjoyed at any specific times. We eat it all year round. Thanks for the video.❤

[matthewbridges]

I have 30# of this on the smoker now. My whole family is excited to taste it smoked. Fried up was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your family recipe!

[Amai]

Fellow polish here, it's nice to see you embracing your family roots i'm looking forward to see more of your videos like this!

[waveourflag]

Absolutely one of the best food videos. Great timing, edits and narratives. No wasted, unnecessary footage. All imaging and angles to the point. Clear audio and quite, concise narrative. No guesswork and well researched. Good cooking/prep 'secrets'.The recipe I use has more garlic. I think a notable high point to character is garlic. Excellent! ...Kielbasa in San Diego is a sad joke. I import the real deal from the Polish section of Philadelphia.

I just got back from a mobilization to Poland. Seriously good food. The Polish chowhall served sausages with breakfast just about every day. If you haven't been, Poland is an amazing country to visit.

I spent 6 months on a polish fishing boat off the coast of Washington and Oregon. The boat fished constantly so there were 6 meals a day. Kielbasa, boiled potatoes, and pickles were served during all of them. I love that stuff!

[bleutitanium]

Fun and educational video ! Reminds me of my father smoking various things... He too had a walk in smoke house. I'll never forget cleaning, curing and smoking 40 turkeys at a time! Thanks for sharing your Kielbasa making adventure !!!

I’m glad I found this. The guy who made the kielbasa that my wife’s family (and my family) enjoyed for decades passed away last week. There will never be anything like it again but maybe I can get close.
