Make creamy pierogies and kielbasa with the help of your Crockpot for an easy and filling meal. This comforting casserole has a creamy sauce and melted cheese to make it an easy and family friendly dinner.
Cook your favorite frozen pierogies along with smoked Polish sausage and a sour cream and cheese sauce in your slow cooker for a one of a kind meal. This recipe takes very little effort and is sure to fill your family up.
All you need to do is make a quick vegetable for a side dish and dinner is ready. Because the casserole itself is pretty rich, I recommend a lighter side like green beans or a green salad.
Options for Making Creamy Pierogi and Sausage
You could even toss some green beans into the crockpot if you want to make it an all in one meal. Add a drained can of green beans or two along with the sour cream and cheese.
If kraut is more your style, add some rinsed and drained sauerkraut to the mix. The options really are endless.
You can use whatever slow cooker you have, but I like using the casserole crockpots for recipes like this. It allows you to get a nice even layer of melted cheese over everything and it all cooks nice and evenly.
If you are in a real hurry, you could even make it in your Instant Pot. Just cook the pierogies, sausage and broth on high pressure for about 3 minutes and quick release the pressure.
Then stir in the cheese and sour cream and leave on keep warm until the cheese is melted. You will be ready to eat in no time at all!
How do I store the leftover pierogis and kielbasa?
Any leftover casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Or freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months.
More Recipes Featuring Kielbasa
We love adding sausage to meals. It is such a great way to add big flavor without a lot of effort.
Including a smoked sausage like kielbasa in a recipe adds so much depth and a hint of smokiness. Plus you get that rich sausage goodness that sticks to your ribs and leaves you feeling satisfied.
If you are a fan of cabbage, you will love making kielbasa, cabbage and potatoes in the instant pot. It is such a quick and easy meal and we make it quite frequently.
For a lighter spin on sausage and pierogi, try making sausage, pierogies and brussels sprouts on a sheet pan. This easy all in one meal only takes a few minutes to put together and it bakes to perfection.
