I’ve cooked a box of frozen pierogies (my first time). The recipe for the “Polish Pie Pierogi Bake,” from thegourmandmom.com, dared me to do it. Sure enough, Mrs. T’s Potato & Cheddar Pierogies were designed for this project. And yes, they were easy to swallow. In fact, let me go ahead and admit that this very cheesy meal was a delicious success.
This decadent heap of food was distinguished by caramelized onions and all that cheddar cheese. We felt no guilt, though, as we enjoyed eating it. I was happy to include kielbasa — a fine sausage that is not too spicy. Notice how easy this recipe is: you need not pre-cook the pierogies, but only place them frozen in the bottom of the baking dish. I served this cheesy meal with an appropriate side of sauteed cabbage.
