Ukrainian Casserole Recipe

  • 15 frozen pierogies
  • 1 teaspoon butter, or to taste
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 (13 ounce) package kielbasa sausage, chopped
  • 4 cups chopped cabbage
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 dash lemon pepper
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pierogies; cook until they float to the top and filling is hot, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large casserole dish with butter.
  3. Combine onion and 1 tablespoon water in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in sausage; cook until warmed through and crisp around the edges, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage; cook and stir until starting to soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Whisk 1 cup water, yogurt, tomato paste, dill, and lemon pepper together in a small bowl. Pour over the kielbasa-cabbage mixture in the skillet; cook until flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Place pierogies in the prepared baking dish; pour kielbasa-cabbage mixture on top. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
