Ingredients: Pierogi Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious and easy dinner:

* 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
* 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced 1/2-inch thick
* 1 (24 count) package frozen pierogies, any flavor (potato and cheese are classic!)

* 1/2 teaspoon paprika
* 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
* 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
* 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
* 1 tablespoon honey
* Garnish: Fresh parsley, chopped
* Garnish: Fresh dill, chopped
* Garnish: Sour cream, for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Combine Veggies: In a large bowl, toss the sliced cabbage and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
3. Spread on Pan: Spread the cabbage and onion mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.

4. Add Sausage: Arrange the sliced kielbasa sausage evenly over the vegetables.
5. Pierogi Power: Scatter the frozen pierogies amongst the sausage and cabbage. Don’t overcrowd the pan – if necessary, use two sheet pans.
6. Seasoning Blend: In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika and Cajun seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the entire sheet pan.

7. Roast to Perfection: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the pierogies halfway through, until the cabbage is tender-crisp, the sausage is browned, and the pierogies are golden and heated through.
8. Make the Glaze: While the sheet pan dinner is roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, whole grain mustard, and honey.
9. Glaze & Finish: Once the sheet pan dinner is out of the oven, drizzle the glaze evenly over everything. Toss gently to coat.

10. Garnish & Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and dill. Serve immediately with a generous dollop of sour cream.

Why This Recipe Works & Expert Tips

This recipe is a winner because it leverages the convenience of frozen pierogies without sacrificing flavor. Roasting the cabbage and onion alongside the kielbasa and pierogies creates a beautiful caramelization and infuses everything with a smoky, savory taste. The glaze adds a delightful tang and sweetness that balances the richness of the sausage and pierogies.

For an even easier cleanup, use a non-stick sheet pan or a silicone baking mat. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different pierogi fillings! Potato and cheese are classic, but sauerkraut, mushroom, or even sweet cheese pierogies would be delicious. This is truly easy comfort food for family dinners that can be tailored to your preferences. If you want a little extra color, add some sliced bell peppers to the sheet pan along with the cabbage and onion.

Storage, Freezing, and Reheating Tips

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing: While not ideal for freezing after it’s been cooked (the pierogies can become a bit mushy), you can assemble the sheet pan dinner (cabbage, onion, sausage, and frozen pierogies) and freeze it before baking. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. When ready to bake, add about 10-15 minutes to the cooking time. This is a great way to prep ahead for a quick sausage pierogi bake on a busy weeknight.

Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions, but the texture won’t be quite as good. A quick reheat makes this sheet pan kielbasa pierogi a great lunch option too!
