Ingredients

• 24 pieces Frozen perogies
• 6 slices Bacon
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 1 small head Green cabbage
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the perogies according to the package instructions until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the bacon into small pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until it is crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the onions. Core the cabbage and thinly slice it into shreds.

Step 4

Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Heat over medium heat until melted.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly golden.

Step 7

In a separate large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the cooked perogies and pan-fry them in batches, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer the fried perogies to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 8

Once the cabbage and onions are cooked, stir in the crispy bacon pieces. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Serve the fried perogies topped with the cabbage, onion, and bacon mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
