Ingredients

• 16 pieces frozen pierogi
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the frozen pierogi in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden and crisp. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Return the cooked pierogi to the skillet, gently tossing them in the sauce to coat.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
