Ingredients

• 16 pieces Frozen pierogies
• 4 links Smoked sausages (e.g., kielbasa or bratwurst)
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt. Once the water is boiling, add the frozen pierogies and cook for 5–7 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain the pierogies and set aside.

Step 2

While the pierogies are cooking, slice the smoked sausages into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 5–6 minutes until soft and golden brown.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Push the onions and garlic to one side of the skillet. Add the sliced sausages to the empty space and cook for 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned on both sides. Mix the sausages with the onions and garlic.

Step 7

Remove the sausage and onion mixture from the skillet and set aside on a plate. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 8

Add the cooked pierogies to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until they are golden and crispy.

Step 9

Return the sausage and onion mixture to the skillet. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir everything together to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
