Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound kielbasa, thinly sliced
  • 25 mini pierogies
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped


Instructions

  1. Cook Pierogies: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the mini pierogies. Return the water to a boil and cook the pierogies for 3 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown Kielbasa: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook, turning often, until the kielbasa is well browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Onions: In the empty skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the coarsely chopped onion and sauté until tender and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Combine and Heat Through: Return the cooked pierogies and browned kielbasa to the skillet with the sautéed onions. Stir gently to coat everything evenly with butter. Continue heating until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Serve: Serve the skillet mixture warm and enjoy a comforting and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Make sure to cook the pierogies properly to avoid them being undercooked or mushy.
  • For added flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley or chives on top before serving.
  • Adjust the amount of butter to your preference for richness or to reduce fat.
