Sauerkraut, bacon and onion pierogi image

The bacon and onion give these pierogi so much more better flavor. I make them and take orders from friends to serve with their holiday dinners. P.S See my mashed potato pierogi recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pierogi didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The dough was too thick and the filling was bland.

These pierogi were a bit time-consuming to make, but they were worth the effort.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of bacon in the filling. The pierogi were still very tasty.

I had some leftover mashed potatoes, so I used them instead of the boiled potatoes in the recipe. The pierogi turned out great!

These pierogi were a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were very good.

I made a few changes to the recipe, such as using chicken broth instead of water and adding some caraway seeds to the filling. The pierogi were still delicious, but I think I prefer the original recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pierogi turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside and the filling was moist and flavorful.

I'm not usually a fan of sauerkraut, but I decided to give these pierogi a try and I'm so glad I did! The flavors melded together perfectly and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor.
