I can’t say I’ve eaten a lot of pierogis in my life. I should apologize to myself for that because I actually like them a lot. So I grabbed a few packages of pre-made onion pierogis, cooked them up, and some fresh mushrooms and mushroom soup and made this really great pierogi and smoked sausage casserole. Cheesy and creamy, it was perfect for a cool day here in Indianapolis.
Go Meatless
Adding smoke sausage along with fresh mushrooms really makes this casserole even better. You can actually leave out the meat. Me, I love smoked sausage. I make sure to slice it thin to help ensure I get a piece in every bite. You can use kielbasa or Polish sausage, or whatever your favorite is instead if you prefer.
This pierogi and smoked sausage casserole is pretty savory. If you want a little more edge to yours add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper. Or dried red pepper flake, or even smoked paprika.
Also try my chicken cordon bleu casserole.
