Here’s a super simple and cozy Slow Cooker Pierogies recipe you can make in one pot! 🥔🧅
Ingredients (Serves 4)
1 package (about 12–16 oz) frozen pierogies (cheese, potato, or your favorite)
1 lb (450 g) sausage (Italian or breakfast sausage, sliced or crumbled)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2–3 tbsp butter or oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: shredded cheese or sour cream for topping
Instructions
Prep the Slow Cooker:
Grease the slow cooker lightly with butter or oil.
Layer the Ingredients:
Place the sausage on the bottom.
Add the sliced onions on top of the sausage.
Lay the frozen pierogies over the onions.
Dot with butter pieces and sprinkle a little salt and pepper.
Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours or high for 1.5–2 hours, until pierogies are tender and sausage is fully cooked.
Optional Finish:
If you like a little crisp, transfer pierogies to a skillet and sauté for 3–5 minutes until lightly golden.
Serve:
Top with shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy warm!
💡 Tips:
You can mix in some bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
Use kielbasa or smoked sausage for a smokier taste.
If you want, I can also give you a 5-minute “dump-and-go” version that’s even easier with minimal prep.
Do you want me to do that?
