Creamy Sausage and Pierogi Skillet

Ingredients:

1 (16 oz) package frozen pierogies (potato & cheese or your favorite)

1 lb smoked sausage, sliced (kielbasa works great)

1 tablespoon butter

1 small onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

---

Instructions:

1. Cook the pierogies:

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add frozen pierogies and cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté sausage & onions:

In the same skillet, add sliced sausage and cook until browned. Add onions and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds.

3. Make it creamy:

Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in paprika if using. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes, letting it slightly thicken.

4. Combine:

Return pierogies to the skillet. Stir gently to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle cheese over top and cover the skillet until cheese is melted (2–3 minutes).

5. Garnish & serve:

Sprinkle with parsley or green onions and serve hot.
