Sauerkraut, bacon and onion pierogi image

The bacon and onion give these pierogi so much more better flavor. I make them and take orders from friends to serve with their holiday dinners. P.S See my mashed potato pierogi recipe.

6 strips bacon ( fried and crumbled ... save bacon grease)

On flour prepared rolling surface , roll out 1/4 of dough at a time ... using a cutter/lid approx 3 1/2 in diameter cut out dough cicles (makes approx 24 pockets) ... fill center of circles with approx 1 heaping tablespoon of sauerkraut filling ... fold over circle and with a egg wash close pierogi pockets pressing down with fork all along open edges. Add approx 6 pierogi at a time to pot of boiling salted water, boil approx 5-7 minutes. Remove from water and drain. You can serve with melted butter just boiled "or" you can sautee drained pierogi in butter/margarine until slightly brown.
