Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Caramelized Onions

  • 2 sweet onions

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or canola oil

Pierogies

  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese and potato pierogies, such as Mrs. T’s® 4-Cheese Medley

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or canola oil

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup sour cream

  • 3 strips cooked, crisp bacon, crumbled

  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • chopped fresh parsley or chives

  • 4 fresh lemon wedges

Directions

  • Trim the ends of the onions, cut in half lengthwise, and peel. Thinly slice the halves vertically from top to bottom.


  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions to skillet, tossing until well coated. Stir until they start to soften, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until onions start to brown, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently. If they start to stick to the skillet, add a little water.


  • Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add pierogies in a single layer, and cook for about 16 minutes or according to package directions, flipping halfway through. Season with salt and pepper.


  • Transfer pierogies to a serving plate. Add a dollop of sour cream to each pierogi, top with caramelized onions and crumbled bacon. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

    Cook’s Note

    For softer pierogies, you can boil them. Place them in a large pot of boiling water, bring back to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Drain, then lightly brown in an oiled skillet for just a few minutes, add toppings, and serve.
