Foodie with Family's sheet-pan version has one step that's easy to skip: the flip. Frozen pierogies go straight into a 400°F oven with no thawing, and the recipe says they're better if you turn them at the 15-minute mark. Forgetting isn't a disaster. Other ideas here boil first, bake in a dish or pan-fry. Keep a bag in the freezer, add something smoky and a vegetable, and dinner follows. These ideas assume store-bought pierogies and ordinary weeknight time. They leave out making dough from scratch.
Why these items are on the list
- Kielbasa and pierogi sheet pan. Pierogies go in the center in a single layer, kielbasa around the edge. Grainy mustard on the side.
- Bacon pierogi bake. Skip thawing: Let's Dish says thawed pierogi might end up a little mushy. Kale or cucumber salad goes alongside.
- Pierogi casserole with spinach. Drain thawed spinach so it doesn't go watery. Delish says assemble the night before; bake about 45 minutes.
- Boiled, then butter-fried pierogi. Brown them with sauteed onions and finish with a dollop of sour cream.
- Grilled pierogies and kielbasa. Food Network Kitchen lists 30 minutes total, and it's a good one for warm evenings.
- Pierogi with sausage and peppers. Food Network Kitchen also lists 30 minutes total, so it suits a busy night.
- Crispy pierogies, broccoli and sausage. Food Network Kitchen lists 20 minutes total, with broccoli and sausage alongside the pierogies.
- Pork chops with glazed apples. Served with pierogi; Food Network Kitchen lists 40 minutes total, so start it early.
- Pierogi and squash stew. Food Network Kitchen lists 35 minutes total, a cozier option for cold nights.
- Buffalo pierogies. Trisha Yearwood's recipe, listed at 25 minutes total.
- Deep-dish Reuben pierogies. Jeff Mauro's recipe, listed at 40 minutes total.
- Pierogi with ham and broccoli. Food Network Kitchen lists it at 40 minutes, with broccoli and ham.
Tick off the ones you've tried and keep the freezer stocked. It's easier than remembering which one the family asked for again.
