Kielbasa Corn Muffins are made with corn muffin mix, cheddar cheese, and lean turkey kielbasa. This is a fun and easy to make recipe that the whole family will love!

We are huge Polish sausage fans in our house. We love, love, love it! Apparently, you all do, too! Kielbasa, Pepper, Onion, and Potato Hash has been one of the most popular recipes here on The Two Bite Club for basically forever. It’s one of those recipes that you will want to make over and over again.

That’s why I have decided to add even more kielbasa recipes to the blog. You guys love them and I do, too!

There’s so much to love about kielbasa recipes! I buy lean turkey kielbasa sausage as opposed to beef or pork varieties because it is a bit healthier and less greasy. Try it! I’m willing to bet you’ll love it. It is similar to a hot dog (which gets the kids, hook, line, and sinker) and can be used interchangeably with hot dogs in so many easy recipes.

This time around, I used our favorite kielbasa in corn muffins! You may have heard of corn dog muffins made with hot dogs, yes? These are similar but have that Polish sausage flavor we love so much. I add cheddar cheese because, duh, cheese is amazing, and also some minced jalapeno for a little kick. Naturally, the jalapeno can be omitted, but I think it gives these little muffins great flavor.

I bake these in a silicone muffin pan which allows the muffins to easily pop right out of the pan without sticking. If you don’t own a silicone muffin pan, be sure to grease your tin well so that they don’t stick! Or buy one and see what you think.

They aren’t terribly expensive and are super convenient. The only drawback to a silicone pan is that the edges don’t get super crusty. If you are a crusty edge fan, stick with traditional muffin pans.

These delicious little muffins can be easily customized and dressed up in a lot of different ways. Some sauteed bell pepper or onion is a yummy choice.

Or try swapping out the cheese depending on what you like (or what you have in the fridge!). Try a spicy pepper jack or mild Colby cheese. You can also substitute the turkey kielbasa for turkey smoked sausage. Either is a great choice because they are super similar.

These Kielbasa Corn Muffins can be made as a stand-alone lunch or served with side dishes as a full weeknight dinner. I like to serve them with french fries (think corn dogs and fries) and a side salad for a complete meal. They would even be great served full on Southern-style with mac and cheese and baked beans. Yes, please!
