Crockpot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa – Creamy, Cheesy Comfort Made Easy

 


How to Make Crockpot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa

Step 1: Add Everything to the Crockpot

Place the following into your slow cooker:

  • Pierogies

  • Sliced kielbasa

  • Cream cheese (cut into cubes for easier melting)

  • Shredded cheddar

  • Chicken broth

Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Cook

  • Cook on HIGH for 3–4 hours

  • Or LOW for about 6 hours

Stir once or twice during cooking if possible to help the cream cheese melt evenly.

As it cooks, the broth and cheeses blend into a creamy, velvety sauce that coats the pierogies perfectly.

Step 3: Stir and Serve

Once the pierogies are tender and the sauce is thick and creamy, give everything a good stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve warm and enjoy every cheesy, comforting bite.

What to Serve With It

Since this dish is rich and hearty, I love pairing it with something fresh:

  • Simple green salad with vinaigrette

  • Steamed broccoli

  • Roasted green beans

  • Crusty bread for soaking up extra sauce

It’s also fantastic on its own when you’re craving pure comfort.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Cut cream cheese into cubes so it melts evenly

  • Stir halfway through cooking if possible

  • Don’t overcook — pierogies should be tender, not mushy

  • Add extra shredded cheese at the end for an ultra-cheesy finish

Storage Instructions

  • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days

  • Reheat gently in the microwave or stovetop

  • Add a splash of broth or milk when reheating to loosen the sauce

Freezing is possible, but cream-based sauces may change texture slightly after thawing.
