Description
A comforting, one-pot dish that combines frozen pierogies, kielbasa, and a creamy cheese sauce, perfect for easy weeknight dinners and potlucks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boxes Mrs. T’s Cheddar Pierogies
- 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 8 oz cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 lb kielbasa, sliced into bite-sized rounds
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the pierogies in a single layer in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Scatter the sliced kielbasa over the pierogies.
- Distribute the cream cheese cubes across the top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar.
- Pour the chicken broth over everything, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours or on low for 6 hours, stirring gently once or twice.
- Check that pierogies are tender and sauce is creamy before serving hot directly from the crockpot.
Notes
For a richer sauce, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for part of the chicken broth. Use vegetarian kielbasa for a meat-free option.
