Kielbasa in Spaghetti Sauce

   1      package       Kielbasa
                        Prego meat flav. spag. sauce
                        Honey

Take Kielbasa and slice into bite size slices. Coat liberally with
spaghetti sauce. Add honey and mix well. You should use about 1 part honey to 5 parts spaghetti sauce. Cook on high heat, stirring frequently, until hot and bubbly. Turn heat down and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. May be cooked on stovetop, in microwave, or in crockpot. I've tried all three methods and they work equally well. This makes a very rich tasting dish that can be served as a main dish or an appetizer.
