Our Pierogi Casserole, is a comforting twist on classic pan-fried sausage and pierogi. Layers of potato-filled pierogi, kielbasa, and a velvety sauce topped with bubbling cheese make this a perfect family meal.

We are all about hearty casserole recipes that have a protein, a starch, and some kind of creamy sauce. And, they have to be tasty!

This pierogi casserole checks all of those boxes! A while back, I made a crockpot pierogi and sausage casserole, and it’s been a reader favorite. Who doesn’t love potato dumplings with sausage and a creamy sauce?

For this recipe, we used store bought pierogi. Then, added kielbasa, sweet onion, and a creamy sauce made with cream cheese, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.

This is one of those dinner recipes that’s warm, hearty, and filling. Pair it with a side of sautéed mushrooms or roasted brussels sprouts for a full meal.
