Pierogi Casserole
Our Pierogi Casserole, is a comforting twist on classic pan-fried sausage and pierogi. Layers of potato-filled pierogi, kielbasa, and a velvety sauce topped with bubbling cheese make this a perfect family meal.
We are all about hearty casserole recipes that have a protein, a starch, and some kind of creamy sauce. And, they have to be tasty!
This pierogi casserole checks all of those boxes! A while back, I made a crockpot pierogi and sausage casserole, and it’s been a reader favorite. Who doesn’t love potato dumplings with sausage and a creamy sauce?
For this recipe, we used store bought pierogi. Then, added kielbasa, sweet onion, and a creamy sauce made with cream cheese, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.
This is one of those dinner recipes that’s warm, hearty, and filling. Pair it with a side of sautéed mushrooms or roasted brussels sprouts for a full meal.
How to Make Pierogi Casserole
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. If not using an oven-safe pan, lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the sausage and onion over low-medium heat until sausage crisps and the onion softens.
- Add the pierogi and mix well. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often until warmed through and lightly browned. Then, remove from heat.
- In a separate saucepan over low heat, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, chicken broth, salt and pepper until smooth. Add in 1 ½ cups of cheese, and stir until melted.
- Pour the mixture over the pierogi and sausage, then top with the remaining 1 ½ cups of cheese.
- Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts and the sauce bubbles around the edges.
- Garnish with green onions and serve.
