Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into half-inch rounds
  • 16 oz frozen potato and cheese pierogies
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish) Optional for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Tear off 2 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and place them on a work surface.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced sausage, frozen pierogies, and onion.
  3. Drizzle with melted butter and olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Divide the mixture between the foil sheets.
  6. Fold and seal the foil tightly to create secure packets.
Cooking
  1. Place the foil packets in the crockpot.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the pierogies are tender and the sausage is heated through.
  3. Carefully open the packets, as hot steam will escape.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Make sure to tightly seal the foil packets to prevent leaks. Feel free to add additional vegetables such as bell peppers or broccoli for extra nutrition. If you prefer, you can use fresh pierogies instead of frozen, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
