Scale
Main Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound Kielbasa, thinly sliced
- 25 mini Pierogies
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Cook Pierogies: Cook the mini pierogies according to the package instructions by adding them to boiling water. Once the water returns to a boil, cook for an additional 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Brown Kielbasa: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the thinly sliced kielbasa and cook, turning often, until browned evenly. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Onions: Using an empty skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and sauté the coarsely chopped onion until tender and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
- Combine and Warm: Stir the cooked pierogies and browned kielbasa into the skillet with the sautéed onions. Toss everything together to coat well with butter and heat through evenly. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute regular pierogies with cheese, potato, or meat-filled varieties according to your preference.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika when sautéing the onions.
- This dish pairs well with a dollop of sour cream or a simple green salad on the side.
- If preferred, kielbasa can be grilled or oven-roasted before adding to the skillet for a smoky touch.
