Main Ingredients
  • 1 package frozen pierogies (any variety you prefer) Potato and cheese or farmer-style work well.
  • 1 pound kielbasa, thinly sliced You can brown it for more flavor.
  • 1 onion chopped (yellow or sweet onion)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar gives a more pronounced flavor.
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup

  5. Add the remaining pierogies in a second layer. Top with the rest of the kielbasa, onion, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar.
