Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of frozen pierogis (around 24 oz)

- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare the necessary chopping and sautéing.
- In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent.
- Grease your crockpot. Spread half of the sliced kielbasa evenly at the bottom. Layer half of the pierogis on top, then sprinkle with a third of the sautéed onions and a handful of shredded cheese. Repeat layers: kielbasa, pierogis, onions, cheese.
- In a bowl, whisk together milk, sour cream, remaining melted butter, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the layered ingredients in the crockpot.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, until pierogis are tender and flavors meld. To add a golden topping, sprinkle additional cheese during the last 30 minutes.

- To enhance flavor, consider adding chopped vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
- Use different cheeses such as mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
- For gluten-free options, select gluten-free pierogis and ensure toppings are gluten-free.
