Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 pound kielbasa, thinly sliced
  • 25 mini pierogies
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped


Instructions

  1. Boil Pierogies: Cook the mini pierogies according to package instructions by adding them to boiling water. Once the water returns to a boil, let them cook for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown Kielbasa: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook, turning frequently until the pieces are well browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Onions: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the coarsely chopped onion and sauté until they become tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine and Heat Through: Return the boiled pierogies and browned kielbasa to the skillet with the onions. Stir gently to coat all the ingredients evenly with butter. Cook for a few minutes until everything is heated through.
  5. Serve: Plate the pierogies, kielbasa, and onions warm. Enjoy your flavorful and comforting skillet dinner!

Notes

  • Use mini pierogies for quicker cooking; regular size will require longer boil time.
  • You can add additional vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • For a crispier texture, after boiling pierogies, you may lightly pan-fry them in butter before combining with kielbasa and onions.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
