Method
Preparation
- Gather all ingredients. Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and slice the kielbasa into rounds.
Cooking
- In the crock pot, add a layer of pierogies followed by a layer of sliced kielbasa. Repeat until all pierogies and kielbasa are used.
- Distribute the cream cheese cubes evenly over the layered pierogies and kielbasa.
- Pour the chicken broth over the mixture, ensuring it covers all ingredients to create a creamy base during cooking.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until pierogies are tender and the casserole is heated through.
- About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover, and allow it to melt.
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, stir gently if desired, then serve warm and enjoy this comforting casserole.
Notes
Serve warm. Pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables. Sour cream can be offered on the side for an extra creamy touch. For added flavor, sauté the kielbasa before adding it to the crock pot. Mix in other vegetables for more color and taste. For heat, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
