Ingredients

• 12 pieces Pierogies (frozen or homemade)
• 6 slices Thick-cut bacon, chopped
• 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional), chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pierogies and cook according to package instructions, or until they float to the surface if homemade (approximately 4-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until it becomes crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon pieces and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 3

Add the butter to the skillet with the remaining bacon grease and let it melt. Toss in the sliced onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 4

Once the onions are caramelized, push them to the side of the skillet. Add the boiled pierogies to the same skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and slightly crispy.

Step 5

Add the cooked bacon back into the skillet and toss gently to combine with the pierogies and onions. Let everything heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer the pierogies, bacon, and onions to a serving platter. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream on the side or drizzle it over the top if desired. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty, savory dish!
