Perogies and Sausage Skillet
A fulfilling and savory skillet meal combining golden-browned smoked sausage and tender potato-cheese perogies, enveloped in a rich, creamy sauce. Ideal for a quick and comforting dinner, ready in under half an hour.
Ingredients
- ½ –1 cup heavy whipping cream adjust according to preferred sauce thickness
- 4 fully cooked smoked sausages turkey or any variety, sliced
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 medium onion finely diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
- 1 lb frozen potato and cheese perogies
Instructions
- Set a large pot of salted water on high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Add frozen perogies and cook until they rise to the surface, approximately 5 minutes.
- While perogies are cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Introduce sliced sausages and sear until golden brown on both sides, around 5 minutes.
- Incorporate diced onion into the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2–3 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t scorch.
- Stir in minced garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute to release its aroma.
- Once the perogies are ready, drain thoroughly and transfer directly to the skillet with the sausage. If the skillet is crowded, remove the sausage-onion mixture temporarily to allow the perogies space to crisp. Sear the perogies until golden and lightly crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Return the sausage mixture to the skillet if removed. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens, approximately 2–3 minutes. Adjust the amount of cream depending on desired consistency.
- Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
Notes
One serving includes roughly four perogies and one sausage. Adjust quantities to suit larger appetites or portion preferences. To achieve a more luscious sauce, increase the amount of cream accordingly.
