Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Frozen pierogies
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 medium Yellow onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté them for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown. Add the garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking and sauté until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Spray the inside of a crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter.
Place half of the frozen pierogies in an even layer at the bottom of the crock pot.
Spread half of the caramelized onions on top of the pierogies.
Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and scatter half over the onions and pierogies.
Add a sprinkle of salt and black pepper over the layer.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining pierogies, onions, butter pieces, salt, and pepper.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the pierogies are tender and heated through.
Once cooked, sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
Serve the pierogies directly from the crock pot, keeping them warm for your potluck or gathering.
