1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup chopped onions
¼ cup sour cream
½ cup milk
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt

Directions
1.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2.
Cook the frozen pierogis according to package instructions; typically this involves boiling them for several minutes until they float.
3.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté the chopped onions until they are translucent and fragrant.
4.
Layer the boiled pierogis in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly to cover the base.
5.
Arrange the sliced kielbasa over the pierogis, ensuring an even distribution across the baking dish surface.
6.
Combine sour cream and milk in a small bowl, then pour the mixture over the kielbasa and pierogis.
7.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, covering the entire dish with a generous layer of cheese.
8.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting the quantities to taste before placing the dish in the oven.
9.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden brown edges.
10.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving to ensure the flavors settle and it is easier to slice.
