• The Real Stars: Three Packages Mrs. T’s Cheddar Pierogies This is a potato dumpling, and you can find it in virtually every home.
Four cups of chicken broth: This will deepen the dish and keep it all moist and delicious.
8-Ounce Block of Cream Cheese: Ideal for its smooth, creamy consistency.
One Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (seriously, there is no such thing as too much cheese!)

Just a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Gather Your Ingredients
Just make sure you have everything set before starting. It cuts cooking time and prevents missing anything.
2. Prepare the Crockpot
Spray a 4-quart crockpot with cooking spray. It prevents the turkey from sticking and simply helps with cleanup later.
3. Combine the Main Ingredients
• 3 cups of chicken broth: Pour this directly into the crockpot.
Layer Frozen PIEROGIES: You do not have to thaw first; add frozen.
Add the sliced Kielbasa, spreading them out for even flavor.
• Add shredded cheddar cheese. Reserve some for later if you want the extra cheesy goodness on top.
Some salt and pepper: to taste
NOTE: In order to ensure an even coating and that the pierogies sink in the broth, LIGHTLY mix the contents.
4. Set It to Cook
• High heat: 3-4 hours of cooking time
• Cook on low for 6 hours.
Pick the option that suits your hours. But whatever the hell, it’s going to taste amazing after hours of slow cooking!
5. Creating the cream cheese mixture
The Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker requires 10 minutes for preheating and an additional 30-45 minutes for baking. Baking:
• Warm Cream Cheese with Broth: In a bowl (if not microwave safe), mix cream cheese and the other cup of chicken broth.
• Warm: This eliminates the chill.
Whisk till smooth; you want it to be creamy and pourable.
6. Final assembly
Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crockpot’s contents.
• Add the cheddar cheese. Finish it off by adding all the left-over cheddar cheese on top, just to get that final layer of cheese.
• Cook: Also, cover and cook in the crockpot on low for 30 more minutes.
7. Serve and Enjoy
• Stir softly; gently mix after closing for all the cheese and creamy sauce to marry together!
Topping: To increase the flavor and appearance, sprinkle some sliced green onions over it.
Serve hot. Scoop it up while it is still warm and melty.
