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.

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!

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.

Definitely 5 stars! I used half the pierogies, but made the full amount of sauce. The sauce was SOOOO tasty! I actually think the sauce would taste good on other things, like chicken or possibly even meatballs, kind of like swedish meatballs. I didn't use low fat sour cream, so with that and doubling the sauce I guess mine wasn't really Weight Watchers, but thats ok! We will definately make this again and again! Thanks for posting the recipe.
