If you want to take this to the next level, turn off the heat and sprinkle a cup of shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the top. Put the lid back on for 5 minutes until the cheese is beautifully melted and gooey.
What to Serve with Slow Cooker Pierogies

| Sour Cream | A classic pairing! The cool, tangy cream cuts through the rich, buttery sauce beautifully. |
| Kielbasa or Smoked Sausage | Slice it up and toss it right into the slow cooker with the pierogies to make it a hearty, all-in-one meal. |
| Crisp Green Salad | A bright, acidic vinaigrette provides a wonderful contrast to a dense, cozy comfort food. |
