Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 ounces) frozen potato and cheese pierogi
  • 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Grease the inside of your crockpot with the tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Kielbasa and Onion: Place the sliced kielbasa and chopped onion into the crockpot.
  3. Layer Pierogi: Add the frozen pierogi on top of the kielbasa and onion mixture.
  4. Make Creamy Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Stir well to form a creamy mixture.
  5. Pour Sauce Over Layers: Pour the creamy mixture over the layers in the crockpot, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  6. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Cook: Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours. The pierogi should be tender and the cheese sauce bubbling.
  8. Garnish: Once cooked, garnish the casserole with chopped fresh parsley.
  9. Serve: Serve hot, and enjoy the comforting flavors of this hearty dish.

Notes

  • Ensure your pierogi are fully cooked through before serving; adjust crockpot time as needed depending on your device.
  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or celery if preferred.
  • For extra veggies, add chopped bell peppers or mushrooms along with the onions.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
  • Use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese for a lighter version, though it may alter creaminess slightly.
