Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Frozen potato and cheese perogies
- 6 ounces Smoked sausage
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a small casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook the frozen perogies according to package instructions, typically 5-7 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside.
While the perogies cook, slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds. In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the sausage for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a sauce.
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Arrange the cooked perogies in the prepared casserole dish. Top them evenly with the browned smoked sausage slices.
Pour the cheese sauce over the perogies and sausage, spreading it evenly to cover.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your comforting perogies casserole!
