A simple box of frozen pierogies can easily be turned in to a complete and inexpensive meal just by adding some veggies and a little meat. You can easily substitute the sausage in this recipe with diced leftover ham or deli ham.
1 Box Frozen Pierogies (I use Mrs. T’s)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 red pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cups fresh spinach, torn into pieces
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (or 2) italian sausage link, sliced in 1/4″ slices (or substitute ham)
Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion, pepper and sausage to pan. Cook until all begins to brown. Add in spinach and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until spinach is wilted. Move veggie/meat mixture to a plate. Add the other Tbsp. olive oil to the pan and heat. Add in frozen pierogies and 1/2 cup water. Cover and let cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove lid, add reserved ingredients back to pan and cook until pierogies start to brown. Serve immediately.
