Ingredients
Instructions
- Dust the salami chunks with flour.
- Mix molasses, brown sugar, and ketchup in a pan.
- Saute the mixture over low heat until well combined.
- Add the floured salami to the sauce and cook until heated through.
- Optional: cook in a crock-pot and serve directly from it.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce. If you don’t have molasses, honey or maple syrup can work as a substitute, though it will alter the flavor slightly. Make sure to coat the salami chunks evenly with flour to help thicken the sauce and prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the spicy salami over a bed of rice or alongside crusty bread for a satisfying meal. It pairs beautifully with a tangy side salad or roasted vegetables. For an even heartier dish, consider serving it alongside German Sausage And Kraut or as a topping for baked potatoes.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through, or microwave in short intervals to avoid overcooking. This dish also holds up well in a crock-pot for a quick reheat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sausage instead of salami?
Absolutely! You can substitute with any smoked sausage or even a spicy chorizo for a different flavor profile. Just be mindful of the seasoning, as some sausages can be saltier or more flavorful than salami.
Is there a way to make this dish less spicy?
Yes, to reduce the heat, use a mild salami instead of spicy varieties. You can also scale back on any additional spices, like crushed red pepper, or simply omit them for a sweeter, less spicy sauce.
Can this recipe be made ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sauce and cook the salami in advance. Just combine and refrigerate, then reheat on the stove or in a crock-pot before serving. This makes it perfect for meal prep or entertaining!
