Ingredients

• 16 pieces Frozen pierogi
• 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.

Step 2

Drain most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon for flavor.

Step 3

Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt over medium heat. Slice the onion thinly and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes soft and golden brown.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add the frozen pierogi to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer as much as possible. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.

Step 6

Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and half of the chopped parsley over the skillet contents. Stir gently to combine.

Step 7

Turn off the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the pierogi skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped bacon and the remaining parsley over the top of the cheesy pierogi skillet. Serve immediately and enjoy!
