Recipe: Polish Sausage & Pierogies (Giveaway!)

Let me confess that I have never ever made pierogies before, frozen or from scratch. I have vague recollections of having one years and years ago, and totally hating it. I didn't even know what section of the frozen foods to look in to buy these, lol. Weirdly, Albertsons only had one brand available - what's up with that one?


Anyways, this latest recipe Johnsonville sent over is super easy to make. The original recipe that's posted below uses two boxes of frozen pierogies; I only used one box. I sauteed the pierogies, you may want to bake or fry them - I was just trying to keep dirty dishes to a minimum! lol ;)

2 boxes frozen pierogies (or 2 pounds made from scratch)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 package Johnsonville Polish Sausage
chopped fresh parsley, if desired

My suggested add ins:
fresh mushrooms, 1 red or green pepper, thinly sliced (had I thought of it before preparing the dish, they'd be in there!)

Melt the butter on high and add in the onion, thinly sliced. I decided to only use half an onion because mine was really big!


Prepare the pierogies as the box directs.

slice the Johnsonville Polish Sausage into 1" pieces (smaller if desired) and cook until the onions are browned and sausage is completely heated.


Serve with pierogies and sprinkle with parsley.


Quick Tip: To keep parsley fresh for several days after purchasing it, use an empty can or cup halfway filled with water, and stand the parsley in it in a cool, dry place.

I was so-so on this one - I think we were disappointed that the pierogies that said they had cheese didn't have more. LOL

I received Johnsonville product in order to help make this recipe - all other items included were purchased out of my own pocket.
