New England Pierogies Dinner

"This is the easiest dinner!! One pot, one serving dish...only minutes to prepare AND cook! When corn on the cob is not in season, I simply add a drained can of corn. Leftovers taste even better!! Not sure where I got this recipe, but I have made this dish over and over again and never get tired of it."

  1. This is very good! I have to admit I had some concern when I tasted what was on the spoon after turning; I thought it was going to need more flavoring. As it turns out this dish just really relies on the butter for salty, creamy goodness so if you're tempted to skimp on the butter I highly recommend that you don't. I also could only find an 18 oz box of full-size pierogi--I bet the mini ones would be nice for getting infused with the butter/Old Bay. One more note--this would definitely not serve 6 at my house; we did well to serve two with a few leftovers.
     
  2. I've made this recipe twice in one week!! I couldn't find mini pierogi, so I used full-size potato/onion ones. My DH loves it!! Easy and great tasting. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. I made this last night and it was absolutely delicious. I don't have a dutch oven so I just made it in a big pot with a little additional water than the recipe indicates. It was so easy and extremely flavorful.
     
  4. We loved this! I did a few things differently. First I could not find mini pierogies. I think around here I'm lucky I found any at all. I sauteed them with onions and butter first then put them aside leaving the onions in the pan. I added the kielbasa to the pan (used a large deep pan with a lid as most of my kitchen is packed up to move next week) and then added beer rather than water (since it was in my hand anyway haha). I added the cabbage and the seasoning and I put in the corn on top and let it boil, covered until the corn was almost done. I added the pierogies back to the bad and gently tossed it all together and let it cook until the corn was just right. Everyone loved it and I plan on using this recipe again and again. It's very versatile too so I will experiment with different meats (brats, pot roast, hot dogs), veggies (carrots, peas, lima beans...) and different starches in place of the pierogies (new potatoes, gnocchi, dumplings, noodles). Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  5. Great recipe. As you said quick, easy and good, what more could you want. I did not have any Old Bay seasoning, so I did a search on here for a make your own recipe. This was put on my rotation list. Thank you for sharing.

I am lucky enough to be "living the good life". I have the most wonderful husband and two terrific teenage daughters. We reside in Central Pennsylvania where we have the luck of having four full seasons. Between my husband and myself, we have two full time jobs, three businesses and one part time job. We are very busy, but try to take it easy when we can and enjoy the wonderful life we have been blessed with. Future plans include moving to an inherited 45 acre farm in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains. This will occur if and when our DD's leave the nest. We love to travel and have enjoyed seeing all of North America and a large portion of the United States together. Since discovering Zaar, I have to say my life has become more flavorful! I have learned that it's easier than I thought to have an organized, well-planned and yet creative and fun kitchen! I love the features of Zaar, but especially enjoy the people. I have become addicted to the forums and now love taking photos of the food I prepare. I am officially a Zaar junky! I've also started taking pictures of most of the recipes I prepare...Here are some of the pics I've taken of dishes that are available at Zaar: <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w155.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w155.photobucket.com/albums/s305/jonesies/442caae0.pbw" height="360" width="480"><a href="http://i155.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&landing=/slideshows&type=3" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://s155.photobucket.com/albums/s305/jonesies/?action=view¤t=442caae0.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a> I love most foods. My only dislikes are green peppers and coffee...weird, huh? Been trying to eat and cook healthier for the children and to help control DH's high cholesterol. I enjoy...no...CRAVE anything cheesy, salty and crunchy. Needless to say I dream about nachos in my sleep! <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Other/photo-swap-7sticky.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1535/cheesesticker.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1956/L%5B1%5D.F-stickJPEG.jpg"> <a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/?action=view&current=tish3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/tish3.jpg" border="0" alt="Recipezaar Challenge 2008"></a>
