- 12 oz (340g) kielbasa, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken soup)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup chicken broth

Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.
- Mix the Sauce:
- In a medium bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.
- Assemble in the Crockpot:
- Lightly grease the crockpot with cooking spray.
- Layer the frozen pierogies on the bottom of the crockpot.
- Add the sliced kielbasa and sautéed onions over the pierogies.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly over the top.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the pierogies are heated through and the sauce is bubbly. Stir gently halfway through cooking to ensure even heating.
- Serve:
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley or extra shredded cheese before serving if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- Add vegetables like frozen peas, carrots, or green beans for extra nutrition.
- For a crispy topping, transfer to a baking dish after cooking, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese, and broil for 2-3 minutes.
- Swap kielbasa with smoked sausage or cooked bacon for a different twist.
