Brown the Sausage:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until the edges turn golden and caramelized.

Crisp the Pierogies:
Add butter or oil to the skillet. Add frozen pierogies in a single layer and cook 3–4 minutes per side, until crisp and golden.

Add Aromatics:
Stir in the onions, garlic, and any optional vegetables. Cook until softened and fragrant.

Steam & Soften:
Pour in the broth and cover the skillet. Let the pierogies steam for 3–4 minutes until fully heated through.

Finish Your Style:
For cheesy—add shredded cheese and let it melt.
For creamy—stir in cream cheese or sour cream.
For veggie-loaded—fold in spinach or peas until warm.

Serve:
Season with salt and pepper and serve hot straight from the skillet.
