Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you need to create this hearty, comforting pierogi casserole.

Frozen Pierogies: These pre-made dumplings are typically filled with potatoes and onions and come ready to be cooked or baked. Look for them in your grocer’s freezer.

Kielbasa Sausage: In many Eastern European traditions, pierogies are often served with sausages like kielbasa. This pairing highlights the region’s love for hearty, flavorful comfort foods. You can also use another type of sausage for this recipe if you’d prefer. It’s all about adding that savory, smoky flavor!

Cream Cheese and Sour Cream: These add rich, creamy texture and tangy flavors that make the pierogi casserole extra comforting and indulgent. Pierogies are also traditionally served with sour cream.

Other Ingredients: Chicken broth keeps the sauce smooth and savory, black pepper adds a gentle kick, cheddar cheese adds melty, creamy flavor, and green onions brighten everything up.

How to Make Pierogi Casserole

Here’s a quick rundown of how to make this cozy, cheesy pierogi casserole come together in no time. Check out the full ingredient list and recipe directions below!

1. Prep the Pierogies

Microwave the frozen pierogies for a couple of minutes to thaw them, then layer them evenly in a prepared baking dish with sliced kielbasa on top.

2. Make the Sauce

Whisk together cream cheese, sour cream, chicken broth, and pepper until smooth, then stir in shredded cheddar cheese and green onions. Make sure the cream cheese is soft, otherwise it won’t mix into the sauce well. To soften cream cheese quickly, leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes—or microwave it uncovered, 10 seconds at a time, stirring in between to avoid overheating.

3. Bake

Pour the creamy sauce over the pierogies and sausage, cover with foil, and bake until heated through. Remove the foil, sprinkle with more cheddar, and bake a few more minutes until melted and bubbly. Finish with an extra sprinkle of fresh green onions for a bright, tasty touch.

Storing and Reheating

Leftovers taste just as good and make for an easy, satisfying meal the next day. Here’s how to keep them fresh.

Refrigerator

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. We wouldn’t recommend freezing your leftovers, as the creamy sauce can separate or become grainy when thawed and reheated.

Reheating

Heat in a covered casserole dish (you can just use foil!) in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes until hot.
