How do you make pierogi casserole?

A basic pierogi casserole involves layering cooked pierogi with browned kielbasa, sautéed onions, cheese, and often a creamy sauce (like cream of mushroom soup or sour cream) before baking until bubbly and golden.

What goes well with pierogi casserole?

Pierogi casserole pairs wonderfully with simple, fresh sides that cut through its richness. Good options include a crisp green salad, steamed green beans, roasted broccoli, or a side of sauerkraut.

Can pierogi casserole be made ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble pierogi casserole up to a day in advance. Cover it tightly and refrigerate. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the fridge.

Can you freeze pierogi casserole?

Yes, pierogi casserole freezes well. Cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat until warmed through.

What kind of kielbasa is best for pierogi?

Smoked Polish kielbasa (often pork or a pork/beef blend) is traditionally used and provides the authentic flavor for pierogi casseroles. Ensure it's fully cooked and just needs browning.

How long does pierogi casserole last in the fridge?

Properly stored in an airtight container, leftover pierogi casserole will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add sliced kielbasa and onion, cooking for 6-8 minutes until onion is softened and kielbasa has color.

Spread frozen pierogi in a single layer in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Scatter cooked kielbasa and onion mixture over top. Pour creamy cheese sauce over everything, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese over top. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
