Skillet Kielbasa and Pierogies
Skillet Kielbasa and Pierogis is the best way to dress up a bag of frozen pierogies! They steam in seasoned broth under the lid while the peppers and onions go sweet and golden around them. Thirty minutes and one pan to wash!
Ingredients
- 12 oz kielbasa sausage, sliced into pieces
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 3 large bell peppers, seeded and sliced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ cup chicken broth, or water
- 16 oz frozen pierogies
- salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Over medium to medium-high heat, add the oil to a large heavy-bottomed skillet (you will need a large skillet with a lid). When the oil is hot, carefully add the sausage (try and lay the sausage flat and in a single layer to get an even searing on each side) to the skillet. Sear each side of the sausage, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the skillet with grease from the sausage. Add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Lower the heat to medium, cook for about 15 minutes or until the onions have caramelized stirring occasionally.
- Pour the broth into the skillet and bring to a soft simmer. Use a wooden spoon to deglaze the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the pierogies. Use a wooden spoon cover the pierogis with peppers and onions. Place the lid on the skillet, turn the heat to low, and let the pierogis simmer for 3 minutes. Gently stir, careful not to tear the pierogies, cover, and let simmer another 2 minutes.
- Remove the lid carefully add the sausage back to the skillet. Gently stir, leave the skillet uncovered, and continue to cook for 2 minutes or until the pierogies are tender and heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve warm. If you like, add a little sour cream when serving!

Notes
Store: Transfer cooled leftovers to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. The pierogies from up and get a little chewy after being cold, but they are still tasty once reheated.
Reheat: For best results, reheat in a skillet with a little butter or oil over medium heat. Adding a splash of broth will keep them from drying out. The microwave also works if you're in a hurry, I recommend covering them with a damp paper towel before microwaving.
