Pierogi And Sausage Crock Pot ~I married into a Polish family 35+ years ago. In that time they have learned to love my Italian food but I am still trying to master their Polish. I botched cabbage rolls in the first few weeks I was married. ( I couldn’t get them to stay together as nice as I had seen so I used tooth picks under them and forgot to tell anyone.). Also, do you cook the rice before hand? How do you core a cabbage? Any way, I find sausage easy, and pieriogies doable. Now stop laughing! And yes, even though I used tomato juice in them I am still happily married!

I married into a Polish family 35+ years ago. In that time they have learned to love my Italian food but I am still trying to master their Polish. I botched cabbage rolls in the first few weeks I was married. ( i couldn't get them to stay together as nice as I had seen so I used tooth picks under them and forgot to tell anyone.). Also, do you cook the rice beforehand! How do you core a cabbage? Any way, i find sausage easy, and pieriogies doable. Now stop laughing!
Ingredients
- 1 16oz package of Polska Kielbasa/Polish Sausage, sliced (I used the turkey version)
- 1 1/2 peppers, sliced (I used 1/2 each of red, green and yellow peppers)
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- bay leaf (optional, but adds great flavor)
- salt and pepper
- 1 16 oz package of frozen pierogies
Instructions
- Place all ingredients EXCEPT pierogies into Crockpot and cook on low appx 6-7 hours. 45 minutes before you’re ready to eat, add the frozen pierogies and turn crockpot to high. If you like some of your pierogies to be browned, spray the exposed parts of your crockpot with cooking spray or brush with butter and lean pierogies against the edges. Those pieces should brown nicely.

I haven’t tried Pierogi but my granddaughter loves them. Thanks for the recipe.
We love them. Once frozen they are a quick and filliing meal. Have a great day!
We only tried Pierogi for the first time this year and we love them in this house
I love them. You can put almost anything inside them! Have a great day!
I have the exact same story as you. I married into a polish family 35+ years ago and my homemade pierogies fell apart and my husbands aunt lost patience with me and I never did learn how to make them. Can’t wait to try your recipe and I like the hint of putting the pierogies on the side of the crockpot to brown them.
It is tough to follow a great Polish grandma isn’t it? I am still learning, but these were good! Thanks Cathy for your story. Enjoy your week.
I served pierogies last week for the first time in a very long while. I was heralded as a dinner hero. They were just the boxed Mrs. T’s kind sautéed in butter. I could not believe the reaction. I’m sure your recipe is a crowd favorite.
Thanks Joey. I must confess, unles the kids are here to help, i use frozen too. They never notice the difference!! Have a lovely week.
