Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Casserole:
    • 2 packages (16 oz each) frozen pierogies (cheddar and potato flavor, or your favorite variety)
    • 1 lb kielbasa sausage (sliced into ½-inch rounds)
    • 1 medium onion (diced)
    • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken soup)
    • ½ cup chicken broth (optional, for thinning the sauce)
    • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • Salt and pepper (to taste)
    • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • For Extra Flavor (Optional):
    • 1 cup cooked bacon pieces (for extra richness)
    • ½ cup cream cheese (for added creaminess)
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for subtle tang)
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)
    • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or Colby Jack cheese (to mix with cheddar)

Instructions

  • Layer Ingredients in Crockpot: Add the frozen pierogies to the bottom of the crockpot. Top with kielbasa slices, diced onion, minced garlic, and paprika.
  • Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, mix together sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth (if using). Pour this mixture evenly over the pierogies and kielbasa.
  • Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the pierogies are heated through and the cheese is melted.
  • Optional Additions: For extra flavor, stir in cooked bacon, cream cheese, and Dijon mustard halfway through cooking. Sprinkle red pepper flakes for heat if desired.
  • Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, stir to combine the ingredients. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add cream cheese for extra creaminess, or bacon for a smoky, rich flavor.
  • Dijon mustard adds a subtle tang, balancing the richness of the dish.
  • Adjust the consistency with chicken broth, if needed.
