Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12 ounce) package smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen pierogi (potato and cheese recommended)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Place the sliced kielbasa and frozen pierogi into the basin of your slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, onion, and parsley until smooth.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pierogi and kielbasa in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat everything.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the pierogi are tender.
- Stir the casserole gently. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the lid and drizzle the melted butter over the top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving this easy casserole recipe.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey bacon or chicken ham for kielbasa if you prefer a different flavor profile.
- For a crispier top layer, transfer the mixture to a baking dish after the slow cooking time, top with cheese, and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes.
- This dish freezes well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to three months.
