Ingredients

  • 2 packages frozen pierogies
  • 2 lb kielbasa
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Steps

  1. Slice the kielbasa into 1/4-inch rounds.
  2. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the frozen pierogies according to package directions until they float and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Drain.
  3. While pierogies cook, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the kielbasa slices for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the cooked pierogies to the skillet with the kielbasa, toss to combine, and cook together for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Picky eaters can have plain buttered pierogies with the kielbasa on the side.
  6. Make ahead: slice the kielbasa up to 2 days ahead and keep it covered in the fridge.

On the side: Steamed rice (20 min)

1 3/4 cups long grain white rice

  1. Rinse the rice. Bring twice as much water as rice to a boil with a pinch of salt, stir in the rice, cover and simmer on low for 18 minutes.
  2. Take it off the heat, keep the lid on 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
