Oven-Baked Pierogi Kielbasa Casserole

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Layer the Base: Arrange the frozen pierogies in the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping if necessary.

3. Add the Sausage: Scatter the sliced kielbasa rounds evenly over and around the pierogies.

4. Sauce it Up: In a small bowl, whisk together the condensed soup and sour cream (if using). Pour the mixture over the pierogies and sausage, spreading it to the edges.

5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the casserole.

6. Bake: Place in the oven for 25–30 minutes. The casserole is ready when the pierogies are heated through and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.

7. Garnish: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes, then top with sliced green onions before serving.
