Late Night Snack: Po' Boy Stuffed Pierogies

Is it just me, or are store bought pierogies never full?

Whenever we buy pierogies, they're always so thin, and that scarce layer of potato in the middle hardly qualifies as a filling.

I mean come on now--I want a pierogi to be like my wallet: fat and overflowing with goodness.

Haha, just kidding.  My wallet is never full.

BUT IF IT WERE, IT'D BE LIKE MAH STUFFED PIEROGIES.

Anywho, my pierogi complaints mingled with a craving for a midnight snack, and

BAM.

I present to you: Po' Boy Stuffed Pierogies

Yes, I ran out of sausage and was too lazy to make more, so some of them aren't stuffed, but you catch my drift.

Ingredients:

1 package of pierogies, any kind (I used potato and cheddar)

About 10 frozen microwavable sausages (I used Banquet)

Shredded cheese

Parmesian cheese

Garlic powder

A bit of butter

1.) Preheat the stove to a medium heat.  Put a small lump of butter in the pan so it'll start melting ahead of time; garnish with garlic powder to your desired taste.

2.) Microwave the sausages for around 2-3 minutes.  MAKE SURE YOU PUT A PAPER TOWEL UNDERNEATH AND ON TOP OF THE SAUSAGES.  This will keep them moist!

3.) Add the pierogies to the pan, mixing them around in the butter.  Add a little more butter if you need it.  Season with garlic powder or any other preferred seasonings as you like.  Cook them for 15-20 minutes, or until they're nice and soft.

Props if they're a little crispy!

4.) Remove the pierogies from the heat and let cool.  Pull out the sausages and dice up.

5.) Slice the pierogies into halves.  Open them up, careful not to tear them apart.

Now stuff some sausage into 'em.  Insert your own visual here.

6.) Garnish the finished plate of pierogies with shredded and grated cheeses.  Serve up and enjoy.

Great for clogging your arteries late at night.  Indulge in moderation, friends.

That's it for me tonight--it's 1:20 a.m., and my tummy is full of these babies.

ECHO out.
