Crockpot Pierogi Casserole with Kielbasa: A Comforting, Hearty Dish

In a 4-6 quart crockpot, add 3 cups of chicken broth, the frozen pierogies, sliced kielbasa, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Cook the Casserole:
Set the crockpot to cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low for 6 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together, creating a hearty base for the casserole.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, warm the cream cheese and the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth. You can do this either in the microwave or on the stovetop. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Final Assembly:
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the crockpot and stir until well combined. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to fully bind together.

Serve:
Serve the casserole hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired. The fresh onions add a nice crunch and complement the rich flavors of the dish.
