Crockpot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa is the perfect blend of convenience and comfort. This hearty, delicious dish combines the savory flavors of kielbasa with the creamy goodness of pierogies, all cooked to perfection in a slow cooker. I first came across this recipe at a family gathering, where it quickly became a favorite. The ease of preparation and the mouthwatering results make it a go-to dish for busy weeknights or casual get-togethers. There’s something incredibly satisfying about setting up your crockpot, walking away, and returning to a ready-to-eat meal that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients
3 boxes Mrs. T’s Cheddar Pierogies (Regular or mini; mini preferred for bite-sized pieces)
4 cups chicken broth
1 8 oz. block cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 pound kielbasa, sliced (or other cooked meat of your choice)
Salt & pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Slice the Kielbasa: Begin by slicing the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces. This ensures that it will evenly distribute throughout the casserole and be easy to eat.
Cut the Cream Cheese: Cut the 8 oz. block of cream cheese into small cubes. This will help it melt more easily and evenly in the crockpot.
Step 2: Assemble the Casserole
Add Pierogies: Place the 3 boxes of Mrs. T’s Cheddar Pierogies into the crockpot. If you are using the mini pierogies, there’s no need to cut them; if using regular-sized pierogies, you may want to cut them in half to ensure they are more manageable and bite-sized.
Add Kielbasa: Add the sliced kielbasa on top of the pierogies. Spread them out evenly to ensure every bite gets a bit of that delicious sausage flavor.
Add Cream Cheese and Cheddar Cheese: Scatter the cream cheese cubes over the pierogies and kielbasa. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
