Excellent. I also lightly steamed some broccoli and added it in right before service. It added some color and the broccoli went perfectly with the sausage and pierogi.

I made this for dinner last night. YUM! I did tweak the preperation a little bit though. While I was reading the box of Pierogies I realized that there was no need to boil them first. So I sauteed the onion and bacon for a couple minutes then added the Pierogies and sausage (which I cut up into bite size pieces). Everything was done at the same time. My onions got a bit caramelized but I like them better that way. Served with sour cream. Great weeknight dinner. Thank you so much!

Very good. I served the sausages separately and it worked out well. I did use non fat sour cream because that's all I had. I bet it would be even better with full on sour cream. Lovely!

This is comfort food. I cooked the sausages in water in the fry pan first, drained and cleaned the pan then put the sausages back in the pan with 1 tbsp bacon grease, added the onions & perogies, covered the pan -heat on medium low and let everything brown. Then added the cooked bacon pieces. I didn't have any sour cream . Enjoyed your recipe very much Thanks cfletcher for posting
