Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth (divided use)
- 2 (16 ounce) bags frozen pierogies (cheddar or onion, I like Mrs. T’s brand)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided use)
- 1 pound smoked Polska kielbasa
- to taste salt and pepper
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- sliced green onions, for serving
Instructions
- Combine three cups of chicken broth, frozen pierogies, cheddar cheese, and kielbasa in a 4-6 quart crock pot. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6 hours.
- About thirty minutes before serving, warm up cream cheese with remaining one cup of the chicken broth in microwave until the cream cheese is warm. Or you can warm it up on the stovetop. Whisk it together until smooth.
- Pour this mixture into the crock pot. Stir. Top with remaining one cup of cheese. Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes. Then serve! Top with sliced green onions (optional).
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is well mixed to achieve a smooth consistency.
