Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 package Frozen Pierogi The base of the dish; these ready-made dumplings save time while providing great texture.
  • 1 pound Kielbasa A flavorful sausage that adds a hearty twist; feel free to substitute with smoked sausage or bratwurst if you prefer.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Adds a creamy, tangy flavor that balances the richness; Greek yogurt works as a healthier alternative.
  • 1 medium Onion Infuses the dish with sweet and aromatic flavors; consider using shallots for a milder touch.
  • 1 can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup The creamy heart of the casserole; cream of chicken or celery soup can be swapped in.
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese Provides a gooey, cheesy layer; any melting cheese, like Monterey Jack, would be delicious too.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Enriches the dish; omit for a lighter version or use olive oil for a healthier touch.
  • to taste Salt Key for enhancing flavors.
  • to taste Pepper Key for enhancing flavors.
  • 2 tablespoons Chives A fresh garnish to brighten the dish; you can replace them with parsley if chives aren’t available.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Start by spraying the inside of your crockpot generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the First Pierogi: Begin layering the frozen pierogi by placing half of them at the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. Add Kielbasa and Onion: Sprinkle half of the sliced kielbasa and chopped onion over the first layer of pierogi.
  4. Mix the Creamy Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and melted butter.
  5. First Sauce Layer: Spread half of the creamy sauce mixture over the first layered ingredients in the crockpot.
  6. Repeat the Layers: Now, repeat the layering process by placing the remaining frozen pierogi over the sauce, followed by the rest of the kielbasa and onion.
  7. Set to Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.
  8. Add the Cheddar: About 30 minutes before serving, remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  9. Serve and Garnish: Your Crockpot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa is ready when the cheese is bubbly and melted.
