Sausage And Perogy Slow Cooker Meal Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the onion and celery in the oil over a low heat until it starts to soften and cook, about 5 mins, then spoon it into the slow cooker. Fry the carrots briefly and add them too.
• Brown the sausages all over in the same frying pan - make sure they get a really good colour because they won't get any browner in the slow cooker. Transfer to the slow cooker and add the sweet potato and tomatoes.
• Put the purée in the frying pan and add 250ml boiling water, swirl everything around to pick up every last bit of flavour, and tip the lot into the slow cooker. Add the herbs, stock cube and some pepper. Don't add salt until the casserole is cooked as the stock can be quite salty. Cook on high for 4 hrs or on low for 8 hrs, then serve or leave to cool and freeze.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pierogi as the label directs. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Season with salt.
• Add the pierogi to the skillet and toss. Add the butter and 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water; cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the butter melts, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Stir in the basil.

Steps:

• Heat a large pan of water to boiling.
• When the water boils, add the pierogies.
• Cook the frozen pierogies for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. They will float to the top when ready.
• Drain and set aside.
• While the water is heating, cook 3 slices of bacon until crisp.
• Drain on a paper towel then cut up finely.
• Reserve the oil from the bacon.
• Fry the sausages in the oil until done - about 10 - 15 minutes on medium heat.
• Remove the sausages and set aside but keep warm.
• Add the pierogies to the oil and fry for approximately 10 minutes. Add the onion and bacon 1/2 way through.
• Turn the pierogies frequently, they should start to get a bit crisp from the oil.
• Serve pierogies and sausages with bits of fried onion, bacon and top with sour cream.
