Instructions

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

2. Add sausage slices and cook until lightly browned, then remove from heat.

3. In a bowl, whisk together sour cream, cream cheese, milk, pepper, and paprika until smooth.

4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

5. Layer the frozen pierogies in the dish. Add the sausage and onion mixture on top.

6. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the casserole and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

7. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.

8. Let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with green onions and serving.

Notes

For an extra savory flavor, caramelize the onions for longer over lower heat.
