Description

A comforting and easy crockpot casserole featuring cheesy pierogies and flavorful kielbasa sausage, simmered in a creamy sauce. Perfect for a hands-off meal that’s hearty and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale

3 packages cheddar pierogies (frozen)
4 cups chicken broth, divided
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 lb kielbasa, sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the frozen cheddar pierogies in the bottom of the crockpot.
Layer the sliced kielbasa on top of the pierogies.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups of the chicken broth with the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture evenly over the pierogies and kielbasa.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth over the top.
Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until pierogies are tender and the casserole is heated through.
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top, cover again and let melt.

Serve warm.

Notes

You can add chopped onions or bell peppers for extra flavor.

Use smoked kielbasa for a richer taste.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the broth slightly.

This recipe works well as a make-ahead meal and reheats nicely.
