Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 13 ounces fully-cooked Kielbasa turkey sausage sliced into rounds
  • 1 16 ounce package frozen cheese pierogies (there’s no need to thaw these in advance)
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 10 ounces frozen cut green beans there’s no need to thaw these in advance
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Saute sausage, pierogies, and onion in oil until golden brown and heated through (about 7-8 minutes per side). During the final 5-7 minutes of cooking, add green beans to the skillet and cook until tender.
  3. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes

  • If you use frozen pierogies, there's no need to thaw or boil them beforehand. If you choose to make homemade pierogies, I suggest boiling them before pan-frying.
  • Many kinds of sausage can be used in place of Kielbasa, like Italian sausage, smoked sausage, andouille sausage, or even bratwurst.
  • For an even deeper flavor, caramelize the onions before sauteing the pierogies and sausage. Caramelized onions take a bit longer to cook, but the deep caramelized flavor is to die for when combined with creamy cheese pierogies and savory sausage. 
  • If you want to add more veggies to this kielbasa and sausage skillet, some good additions would be bell peppers, green onions, broccoli, or sliced mushrooms.
  • Serve with a sour cream and chive dip (or cream cheese dip) for some added flavor and creaminess.
  • If you don't want to use full-sized pierogi, swap in mini pierogies. Mrs. T's pierogies carries mini pierogies in many of the same flavors.
  • I would not recommend refreezing pierogies that have already been frozen. Instead, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days and reheat them in the microwave.
