This Slow Cooker Foil Packet Sausage and Pierogies is an easy, all-in-one meal that delivers big flavor with minimal effort.

Slow Cooker Foil Packet Sausage and Pierogies
Ingredients
- 1 package (16–20 oz) frozen potato-and-cheese pierogies
- 1 ring (12–14 oz) smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1. Combine ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the frozen pierogies, sliced sausage, and onions. Pour the melted butter over everything and toss until evenly coated.
2. Make foil packets
Divide the mixture between two large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Fold tightly to seal each packet well so the steam stays inside.
3. Cook
Place the packets in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–2½ hours, until everything is heated through and tender.
4. Open and finish
Carefully open the foil packets, watching for hot steam. Stir gently to coat everything in the buttery juices.
5. Serve
Serve warm straight from the packets or transfer to a dish for easy sharing.
