This comforting Crockpot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa combines tender pierogies with savory kielbasa in a creamy, cheesy sauce. It’s the perfect easy, family-friendly meal that you can set and forget, with minimal prep time and maximum flavor. Serve it as a main dish for dinner or as a side at your next gathering.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 24 frozen potato and cheese pierogies
  • 1 lb kielbasa, sliced into rounds
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter.
  2. Layer the pierogies: Place half of the frozen pierogies in the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. Add the kielbasa: Spread half of the sliced kielbasa over the pierogies.
  4. Sauté onion and garlic (optional but recommended): In a small pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Mix the sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onion and garlic (if used), and milk. Stir until well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Assemble the casserole: Pour half of the sauce mixture over the pierogies and kielbasa. Add the remaining pierogies, kielbasa, and top with the rest of the sauce mixture.
  7. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the pierogies are tender and the casserole is heated through.
  8. Serve: Once done, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for garnish and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use different types of pierogies like potato and onion or even cheddar and bacon if you prefer.
  • For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use turkey kielbasa.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the mix.
  • For an extra crispy finish, transfer to an oven-safe dish and broil for a few minutes before serving.
