This one-skillet meal combines two of our favorite Polish foods—pierogi and kielbasa—into a warm, hearty dinner. Pierogi are essentially dumplings that can be filled with a variety of different savory or even sweet stuffings. In this recipe, we use potato and cheese, which are the easiest to find in the frozen food section; however, you can feel free use whatever savory flavor you like if you have something else accessible!

Cream cheese thickens up the sauce so it perfectly coats everything, yet we can’t resist adding on dollops of sour cream to each plate, two popular pairings for pierogi that go so well with the kielbasa, onions, and peppers too.

Ingredients

2
(16-oz.) packages frozen cheddar and/or potato pierogi (about 24 total)
2 tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil
2
large red, yellow, or orange bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, thinly sliced
1
medium yellow onion, halved, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1
(14-oz.) package cooked kielbasa, sliced into thin rounds
2 tbsp.

1 c.
low-sodium chicken broth
2 oz.
cream cheese
1/2 tsp.
Dijon mustard
1 1/4 c.
shredded sharp cheddar, divided
2
scallions, thinly sliced
Sour cream, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Heat broiler. In a large pot of water, cook pierogi per package instructions; drain.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add peppers, onion, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just barely tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add kielbasa and cook, stirring occasionally, until kielbasa and vegetables are golden in places, 4 to 6 minutes more. Scrape kielbasa mixture onto a plate.
3. Step 3Return skillet to medium heat and add butter and pierogi. Cook, tossing occasionally, until pierogi are golden in places, about 4 minutes. Transfer pierogi to plate with kielbasa mixture.
4. Step 4Increase heat to medium-high. Pour broth into skillet and add cream cheese and mustard. Cook, whisking constantly, until broth comes to a boil and cream cheese is melted. Continue to boil, whisking occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes.
5. Step 5Remove skillet from heat. Return pierogi, kielbasa, and vegetable mixture to skillet and stir to coat in sauce. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup cheddar and stir a few times to incorporate. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar.
6. Step 6Broil until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with scallions. Serve with sour cream alongside.
