Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound kielbasa, thinly sliced
- 25 mini pierogies
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Boil Pierogies: Cook the mini pierogies by placing them into boiling water. Once the water returns to a boil, let them cook for 3 minutes. Then, drain the pierogies and set them aside for later use.
- Brown Kielbasa: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced kielbasa pieces and cook them, turning frequently, until they are well browned on all sides. Once browned, remove the kielbasa from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Onions: In the now empty skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the coarsely chopped onion and sauté until they become tender and translucent, which should take a few minutes.
- Combine and Heat Through: Return the cooked pierogies and browned kielbasa back into the skillet with the sautéed onions. Stir gently to evenly coat all ingredients with the melted butter and heat everything together until warmed through.
- Serve: Plate the pierogies, kielbasa, and onions warm. Serve immediately and enjoy this tasty, comforting skillet dinner.
Notes
- Use mini pierogies for quicker cooking time, but larger pierogies can be used if desired; adjust boiling time accordingly.
- To enhance flavor, consider adding a splash of sour cream or some chopped fresh parsley as a garnish before serving.
- You can substitute kielbasa with smoked sausage or another type of sausage if preferred.
- If you want to reduce fat, use less butter or a butter substitute.
