Shortcut Pierogies

01Method

1. 1

   Cut the ends off the onions, halve them lengthwise, peel, then slice each half thinly from top to bottom.

2. 2

   Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and toss to coat. Stir until they begin to soften, then lower the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the onions turn golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add a splash of water if they start to stick.

3. 3

   While the onions cook, melt the butter with the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the pierogies in a single layer and cook about 16 minutes or per package instructions, turning once halfway through. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Arrange the pierogies on a serving dish. Top each one with a spoonful of sour cream, caramelized onions, and bacon crumbles. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh herbs, and serve alongside lemon wedges.
