1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 onion, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by chopping the onion and slicing the kielbasa. Gather all other ingredients.

Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot

In the crockpot, layer half of the frozen pierogi, half of the kielbasa, half of the onion, and half of the cream of mushroom soup. Repeat the layers.

Spread the sour cream over the top and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese.

Serving Suggestions

To make your Crockpot Pierogi Casserole even more inviting, consider serving it with a fresh side salad. A simple greens salad with a light vinaigrette can balance the richness of the casserole and add a refreshing element to your meal. Additionally, serving with some crusty bread can help soak up the delicious sauce.

For a bit of a flavor kick, you might also offer sour cream or a dollop of your favorite spicy sauce on the side. These toppings complement the creamy nature of the dish and can enhance your overall dining experience.

Storage Tips

Leftover Crockpot Pierogi Casserole stores well in the fridge for up to three days. Make sure to let the casserole cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers, simply reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

Freezing is also an option if you wish to save some portions for later. Just ensure it’s in a freezer-safe container, and it can last up to three months in the freezer. When you're ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Variations to Try

This recipe is wonderfully versatile! You can easily switch up the filling of the pierogi to include different flavors, such as sauerkraut, meat, or even vegetables. Mixing in some colorful bell peppers or spinach can introduce a new layer of nutrients and taste.

For a twist on the traditional flavor, consider adding garlic, fresh herbs, or spices like paprika to enhance the dish even further. These small changes can create exciting new versions of this comfort classic that cater to different palates and preferences.
