Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth divided
- 2 16-ounce bags frozen pierogies (cheddar or onion; I prefer Mrs. T's brand)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1 pound smoked Polska kielbasa
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8- ounce block of 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 crockpot. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6 hours.
- About thirty minutes before serving, warm the cream cheese with the remaining one cup of chicken broth in the microwave until it's heated through. Alternatively, you can warm it on the stovetop. Whisk the mixture together until smooth.
- Pour this mixture into the crockpot and stir to combine. Top with the remaining one cup of cheese, cover, and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes. Then serve, garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
