Kielbasa Pierogi Casserole

Kielbasa Pierogi Casserole

I think I’ve stated a few times here about my Polish heritage. My mother was raised with an abundance of Polish traditions and one she passed on is the yummy food. I’ve been eating kielbasa since before I could remember and I also love pierogis. I could eat a whole batch by myself. This Kielbasa Pierogi Casserole is the perfect mix of both and also gets a little bacon and cheese in on the action because why not!

This recipe calls for a package of frozen pierogis for convenience. However, to take the casserole to the next level, try making your own pierogis.  This recipe by Mary Jane Robbins is super clear and the step by step instructional photos wiped away any sense of intimidation.  Please note, after you boil your homemade pierogis and let cool, then add them to this Kielbasa Pierogi Casserole recipe, following the steps below.

This recipe is the perfect mix of tangy, sweet and spicy! We made these on one of our last warm weekends and they were perfect. The chicken cooked up with a nice char and the peppers and sauce added a ton of flavor. We really loved the way that these came out and had zero leftovers for this meal! These were cooked on medium low heat directly on the grill. If you use a grill pan on your stove, make sure you keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.  Continue reading “BBQ Bacon Chicken Kabobs”
