"Great idea for a football party, graduation party, any potluck get-together. I was assigned a hot side dish for a potluck work luncheon, served aside of hot dogs and other party appy's, and decided to try this out in the crockpot and it worked. It went over well; many people went back for seconds and came looking for the leftovers the next day.....it was the only dish that was gone! Very simple indeed, but it's one of those dishes that you hardly lift a finger yet it goes a long way. Would go great aside of hamburger BBQ, sausage sandwiches, bratwurst, hamburgers, etc or make as a main dish. Perfect if you don't have an oven or have limited oven space for your party cooking. I have figured on 16 servings/3 pierogies per person and prep time includes sautee of onion and butter."

This is a great recipe,but to make it absolutely sinfully delicious once a year, fry your onions with cut up bacon and when done add 1 quart of whipping cream to the pan. Heat up and then poor over your 3lbs of perogies in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 hrs. Amazing and yes a heart attack awaiting to happen, but it's only once a year so enjoy the two perogies you will have!

DH loved this recipe. he is from the coal region of PA and Pierogis are everywhere. i love pierogis too, and this recipe was crazy easy and delicious. i used a mixture of all of the pierogis i had in the freezer and made these for a large group of guests. they also enjoyed the pierogis. i cooked the onions until they were well caramelized. great recipe.

We use this recipe every time we cook for our church fellowship hour. Turn it on in the morning, let it cook during church, and it's perfect! I never have leftovers and I bring 3 crockpots of pierogies!!

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
