This recipe transforms frozen pierogi into a hearty, cheesy comfort food using your slow cooker. It combines smoky kielbasa and a creamy sauce for an easy, satisfying family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (24 ounce) package frozen potato and cheese pierogi
  • 1 (12 ounce) package smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen pierogi and sliced kielbasa into the basin of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Do not thaw the pierogi first.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pierogi and sausage in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat everything.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours, until the pierogi are tender.
  5. Stir the casserole gently. Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top.
  6. Cover and cook on HIGH for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. If you desire a slightly crisp top, carefully brush the melted butter over the cheese before the final 10 minutes of cooking.
  7. Serve this easy casserole dinner hot.

Notes

  • For a baked pierogi dish version, combine all ingredients except the butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, then top with cheese and bake for 10 more minutes until golden.
  • You can substitute turkey bacon or chicken ham for the kielbasa if you prefer a different savory sausage flavor.
  • This recipe works well for weeknight casserole shortcuts since the prep is minimal.
