Ingredients For Crockpot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa :

  • 3 packages of Mrs. T’s Cheddar Pierogies (frozen)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb kielbasa, sliced
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
• Seasoning:
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Crockpot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa :

Step 1: Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot

1. Add 3 cups of chicken broth, frozen pierogies, sliced kielbasa, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to a 4-6 quart crockpot.
2. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 2: Cook

1. Cover the crockpot and set it to HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
2. Allow the flavors to meld together while the pierogies and kielbasa cook through.

Step 3: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

1. About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, warm the cream cheese and the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth in the microwave or on the stovetop.
2. Whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Final Touches

1. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the crockpot and stir well to combine.
2. Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and cook on LOW for another 30 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken.

Step 5: Serve

1. Serve the casserole hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
2. Pair with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.

Pro Tips for the Best Pierogi Casserole :

1. Smoky Twist: Use smoked kielbasa for added depth of flavor or sprinkle in a pinch of smoked paprika.
2. Cheese Variety: Swap cheddar for Gouda, Monterey Jack, or a sharp white cheddar for a different flavor profile.
3. Add Veggies: Stir in steamed broccoli or sautéed onions and peppers for a nutrient boost.
4. Don’t Skip the Cream Cheese Step: Melting the cream cheese with broth ensures a smooth, creamy sauce that incorporates evenly.

FAQs About Crockpot Pierogi Casserole :

1. Can I Use Fresh Pierogies Instead of Frozen?

Yes! Fresh pierogies work well but may cook faster, so check for doneness earlier.

2. How Long Does This Dish Keep?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed.

3. Can I Make This Dish Vegetarian?

Yes! Swap the kielbasa for sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

4. Can I Freeze This Casserole?

While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze it. Allow the dish to cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
