Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a 4–6 quart crockpot, layer three cups of chicken broth, followed by the frozen Mrs. T’s cheddar pierogies.
  2. Next, add sliced kielbasa evenly across the top along with one cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Be careful not to stir too vigorously to avoid breaking the pierogies; ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cooking
  1. Set your slow cooker to high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 hours, allowing the casserole to cook gently.
  2. Monitor the mixture; once the pierogies are tender and the broth begins to bubble, it’s almost ready.
Cream Cheese Mixture
  1. About 30 minutes before the casserole is finished, take the remaining cup of chicken broth and heat it on the stove.
  2. Stir in the cream cheese until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Final Assembly
  1. Gently pour the cream cheese mixture into the crockpot, stirring softly to incorporate it without damaging the pierogies.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover, and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.
Serving
  1. Once the Crockpot Pierogi Casserole is finished cooking, carefully ladle it into bowls for serving.
  2. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Browning kielbasa before adding intensifies its flavor. Monitor cooking time to avoid overcooked pierogies. Prep the night before for an effortless dinner.
