Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 14 ounces sliced kielbasa sausage, (¼-inch thick)
- 32 ounces frozen pierogies
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) block softened cream cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, (divided)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, (divided)
Garnish
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place the sliced kielbasa sausage and frozen pierogies in the prepared baking dish.
- Whisk Sauce: In a bowl, use a hand mixer to whisk together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Whisk until well combined.
- Assemble: Pour the sauce over the pierogies and sausage in the baking dish and stir gently to coat everything well. Then evenly top the dish with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Finish: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh sliced kielbasa and do not thaw the pierogies before baking.
- You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a different flavor.
- Feel free to add sautéed onions or peppers for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Make sure to cover the dish with foil during the initial baking to prevent the cheese from over-browning.
