Classic Perogies and Sausage Skillet - Easy Recipes for Dinner
You know that feeling when you open the fridge, see a pack of sausage, and think, “Hmm… I could eat that with literally anything?” 🧠 That’s exactly how this recipe was born. Classic perogies, seared up golden and cozy, meet their best buddies: caramelized onions, smoky sausage, and just a hint of buttery crisp edges. Think cheesy comfort with a dash of ‘I made this and it didn’t burn!’ 🎉
I first threw this together one hectic Tuesday when I forgot I had guests coming. Ten minutes in, I’m on the stove, barefoot, half-singing to my cat and flipping perogies like I’m on Chopped. And hey, nobody left hungry—proof this skillet is magic. You’ll get savory, melty, crispy, and saucy in one bite. Oh, and fewer dishes? Yes please. 🧼
So grab that skillet and pretend you're the star of your own cooking show. (Extra points if you narrate your chopping out loud.) Let’s make dinner feel like a warm hug. 🥔🔥
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen potato and cheese perogies (about 12 perogies)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 package smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is melted and bubbly.
- Add the sliced onion and cook until golden and soft—about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally and try not to burn them like I sometimes do when I'm multitasking.
- Toss in the sausage rounds and let them brown, flipping now and then so everyone gets crispy.
- Add the frozen perogies straight to the pan. Don't thaw—just toss 'em in frozen and trust the process.
- Cook everything together, flipping perogies occasionally, for another 10–12 minutes until the perogies are golden and cooked through.
- Season with salt and pepper. Top with herbs if you’re feeling extra.
- Serve warm and pretend you spent hours on it.
