Description
A lazy chef’s dream, this classic casserole layers frozen pierogies, smoky kielbasa, and a creamy cheddar sauce for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 packages Mrs. T’s Cheddar Pierogies, frozen (do not thaw)
- 1 lb beef kielbasa, sliced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for layering)
Instructions

- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken broth and cream cheese. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly grease the inside of a slow cooker.
- Arrange half of the frozen pierogies in an even layer at the bottom. Spread half of the sliced kielbasa over the pierogies and sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Pour half of the creamy sauce over this.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining pierogies, kielbasa, shredded cheddar cheese, and pour the rest of the sauce over.
