Pierogies With Creamy Mushroom and Sherry Sauce

KelBel's Note:

This is one of my all time favorite WW recipes. I serve it to company all of the time, and no one ever guesses its low fat! I have used ravioli instead of pierogies and have added ham for variation. Recipe as written is 5 points.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms

• 1 (1 lb) package frozen low-fat potato pierogies, thawed
• 2 tablespoons light sour cream

Directions:

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the mushrooms, onion, salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cook stirring occasionally until the mushrooms and onion are tender and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.

7. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.

Very good. I made the mistake of cooking the frozen pierogies right in with the mushrooms and onions because the package said to cook from frozen. But they were too delicate for the stirring needed, so some broke apart. Next time I would thaw them as you suggested. Thanks for the keeper!

What a great recipe! You really feel like you're eating something rich and indulgent, but it's actually a very light meal. I have made this twice, and both times I added some additional seasoning (some garlic and Penzey's "Mural of Flavor"). The second time around, I was making it for a vegetarian friend, so I used vegetable broth. I didn't even notice a difference. My boyfriend is a hard-core meat and potatoes man, and he gets excited when I make this dish. I assure you, you and your family and friends will love it.

I really liked this recipe. Used mini pierogies which I pre-boiled... but the exact recipe beyond that. Loved it- so simple but filling and tasty.
