Make this hearty, cheesy pierogi casserole in your slow cooker for an easy, comforting weeknight dinner solution. This recipe uses frozen pierogi and kielbasa for maximum flavor with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 ounce) package smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced
  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen potato and cheese pierogi
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the bottom of your slow cooker insert.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced kielbasa and chopped onion. Cook until the kielbasa is lightly browned and the onion is soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, parsley, and pepper.
  4. Place the frozen pierogi in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with the cooked kielbasa and onion mixture.
  5. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pierogi and kielbasa. Stir gently to combine everything.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the pierogi are tender.
  7. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese over the top. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve this indulgent comfort food immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey bacon or chicken ham for kielbasa if you prefer a different flavor profile.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; leftovers reheat well in the microwave.
  • For a crispier top, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish after slow cooking and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes with the cheese topping.
