Tips and Notes
- Feel free to swap the kielbasa sausage for another type of fully-cooked smoked sausage. Turkey sausage and chicken sausage would also make good substitutions.
- I like to shred my cheese from a block of sharp cheddar. It melts nicely and adds great flavor. You can use a mild cheddar or any other type of cheese your prefer, though.
- Store any leftover Pierogi Casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat small portions in the microwave before serving.
FAQs
Pierogies are dumplings stuffed with a filling. Traditionally, it is stuffed with things like whipped potatoes and onions.
Frozen pierogies can be cooked in a variety of ways. When making a Pierogi casserole, they can be baked with the other ingredients in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. If you’d prefer to pan fry your pierogies, cook them in butter or oil over medium heat until golden, about 8 minutes per side. You can also cook frozen pierogies in boiling water for 3 minutes before draining.
You can find pierogies in the freezer section of your grocery store. Mine are located right next to the frozen raviolis. One popular brand of frozen pierogies is Mrs. T’s.
I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the frozen pierogies sold at the grocery store. I like to use the classic onion flavor for my casserole.

The dish tasted good, but the sauce curdled while baking. Did not look good at all.
Great base recipe, could have used more seasoning. I used cheddar jalapeño smoked sausage, doubled the cream recipe & added 1tsp Slap Yo Mama Cajun Seasoning, 1/2tsp garlic powder & 1tsp dried oregano. I left out the green onion (we don’t like green onion) & added some minced onion. Also added green beans to the pan with the sausage & pierogies.
Delicious. I sautéed onions and added them, then the cheese at the end. Yum. Served with a side of Brussel sprouts in brown butter.
Ashland, this was an excellent recipe very tasty and versatile. I had never had pierogies before but a recipe showed up in my inbox from a large corporate site and my local supermarket just happened to have pierogies BOGO. So I thought why not try it. After doing some research I found your recipe it sounded so much better than the one that popped up. I tend to try and use up ingredients that I have on hand so in this case I added some collards from my garden and shredded some feta, Italian blend and melted mozzarella on top. I followed the steps in your recipe and OMG it was delicious. Thank you I’ll be making this again after I finish using up my leftovers.
Everyone at the table ate everything on their plates! Paired it with steamed broccoli. Will be making again.
My son, grandson and hubby loved it and it was so easy to make, I did add a little garlic powder and oregano to the cream mixture and left out the onions because they’re not big fans of onions
I doubled the broth mixture, added 6 ounces of cooked bow tie noodles, baked for 20 minutes, then added cheese and put back in over for 10 minutes. It turned out great!!!
This was so easy and so delish. The compliments flowed from the first bite to the last.
I didn’t have any sausage so I used cooked turkey , bacon and added a little ranch. It was delicious !
