Cheese Stuffed Pierogies with Butter, Bacon and Onions Recipe

How many of you enjoy eating Pierogies? My family loves them and I like making them on those busy weeknights when I need to get dinner onto the table FAST. For those of you who have never had them, Pierogies are filled dumplings of Eastern European origin made by wrapping unleavened dough around a savory or sweet filling and cooking in boiling water. Typical fillings include potato, sauerkraut, ground meat, creamy cheeses, and fruits. You can make your own homemade Pierogies are buy pre-made ones at your local grocery store.

Cheese Stuffed Pierogies with Butter, Bacon and Onions Recipe

16 oz. pkg. Cheese Stuffed Pierogies
1/4 cup Sweet Onions, Diced
1/4 to 1/3 cup Butter, Melted
2 – 3 Slices Bacon, Cooked and Crumbled
1/2 Tbsp. Oregano

Place Pierogies into salted, boiling water and boil for 5 to 7 minutes or until fork tender.

While Pierogies are cooking place the diced onions, melted butter, cooked & crumbled bacon and Oregano into a large frying pan or wok. Saute over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until onions are translucent and fork tender.

Drain water from the Pierogies and pour them into the frying pan. Stir all ingredients together and simmer over low heat for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Remove. Serve immediately.

Note: When the grandchildren are at our home for dinner, they like to dip their Pierogies in catsup. My husband enjoys them just like prepared above but with the addition of a little sea salt and ground black pepper on top. Not a fan of bacon? You can completely omit it from the recipe.
