How to Make Crock Pot Pierogi Casserole
Start by slicing the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces. For the cream cheese, cut it into small cubes to ensure it melts evenly during cooking.
In your crock pot, first place the frozen Mrs. T’s Cheddar Pierogies. Then scatter the sliced kielbasa, followed by the cream cheese cubes and shredded cheddar cheese.
Gently pour chicken broth over all the ingredients, ensuring everything is covered. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover your crock pot and set it on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 6 hours. Stir gently once or twice as it cooks until cheese is melted and pierogies are tender.
Once cooked, ensure pierogies are tender and cheese has melted. Serve on plates and enjoy!
This casserole can even be enjoyed for breakfast and is perfect for versatile meal planning.
