Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound kielbasa, thinly sliced
- 25 mini pierogies
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Boil Pierogies: Fill a pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the mini pierogies to the boiling water and let them cook for about 3 minutes or according to package instructions until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked through. Drain the pierogies and set them aside.
- Brown Kielbasa: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced kielbasa and cook, turning frequently, until the slices are well browned and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Onions: In the now-empty skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the coarsely chopped onion and sauté until the onions become tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Combine and Heat Through: Return the cooked pierogies and browned kielbasa to the skillet with the sautéed onions. Stir gently to coat all ingredients evenly with butter and heat the mixture until everything is warmed through, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the pierogies, kielbasa, and onions warm. Enjoy this satisfying skillet dinner immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish.
- You can substitute kielbasa with another smoked sausage or vegetarian sausage for a different twist.
- To add vegetables, consider tossing in some sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms along with the onions.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the pierogies brand or type.
- For extra richness, a dollop of sour cream on top pairs wonderfully with this dish.
