Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, halved and then thinly sliced into half moons
4 oz thinly sliced deli ham, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 (16 oz) package frozen potato-cheese pierogi
1 small head broccoli, cut into small florets
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

In a large broiler-proof skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the ham and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until the onion starts to lightly brown, about 2 more minutes. Add the broth and cook until the onion softens, another 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the pierogi and the broccoli. Cover the pan and cook until the broccoli is tender and the pierogi is cooked, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, chives and paprika, and season lightly with salt.
Turn on the broiler.
When the broccoli is tender and the pierogi is heated through, remove the lid from the pan and sprinkle in the cheese. Place the skillet under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the pierogi are browned, 2-3 minutes.
Serve with the sour cream sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 (12 7/8 ounce) boxes frozen pierogi, partially thaw, MINI Mrs. T's Rogies work best
1 cup cooked diced ham
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
2 tablespoons minced onions
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon mustard
salt and pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F; lightly grease/spray a 13x9-inch casserole dish.
Arrange the pierogies and cubed ham in the 13x9-inch dish.
In a bowl, stir together the chopped broccoli, minced onions, cheese soup, sour cream, milk, mustard, and salt and pepper (to taste).
Evenly spread over the pierogies and ham.
Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and beginning to brown.

Tips:

To make the pierogi dough, use a food processor to quickly combine the ingredients until a ball forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
To fill the pierogi, place a spoonful of the filling in the center of a circle of dough. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the dough to seal it.
When cooking the pierogi, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pierogi and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove the pierogi from the pot with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Pierogi can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, sour cream, fried onions, or bacon bits.
