Sunday Funday! The Packers are playing our longtime rivals, da Bears. Both Packer and Bear land have a big Polish presence. Pierogies seemed like a good choice. I have made pierogies from scratch and I use round wonton wrappers for a shortcut. But today I'm using frozen ones and focusing on the sauce. I loaded them up in a crockpot and brought them to my neighborhood pub to share. Shout out to Airport Bar.
Ingredients
2 cups thinly sliced onions
8 to 10 bratwursts
3 tbsp butter cubed plus more frying the pierogies
1 can of beer of choice
1 1/2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp fresh Thyme (optional)
24 pack of frozen pierogies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, Add sliced onions to the bottom of a baking pan. I used a disposable pan for convenience. top onions with butter and lay brats on top. cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes covered.
Remove brats from pan and slice about 1/2 inches thick. Add to a large skillet and brown. Move brat bites to one side of pan. stir in flour and pour in beer and onion mixture. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
Boil pierogies according to instruction on bag. After boiled pan fry on both sides. Add to brat and onion mixture. I then added mine to a crockpot to keep warm. Enjoy!
