Description
An easy and comforting Crockpot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa recipe. Tender pierogi, savory kielbasa, and creamy cheese sauce cooked low and slow.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen potato and cheese pierogi
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk (or half-and-half for richer results)
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, extra sour cream, chives
Instructions
- 1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.
- 2. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- 3. Grease your slow cooker insert lightly with cooking spray or butter. Place the browned kielbasa, cooked onions and garlic, and the frozen pierogi into the slow cooker.
- 4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, dried dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- 5. Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the pierogi and kielbasa in the slow cooker.
- 6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the top of the mixture.
- 7. Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours, or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the pierogi are tender and heated through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- 8. Stir gently to combine the ingredients just before serving.
Notes
Allow the casserole to cool completely before storing. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, warm gently in the microwave or bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. Add a splash of milk or broth if dry.
