Pierogi Beef Skillet - Recipe


We are getting a bit restless around the house with what we are eating which means I am trying new recipes.
This recipe comes from the Taste of Home Simple & Delicious magazine and there are a bundle of yummy recipes in this issue.
So, we wanted something warm, beefy and filling which lead me to try the Pierogi Beef Skillet recipe.
The recipe was very tasty, fast to make and a hit with the whole family.

Serving Ideas:
  • A tossed salad on the side or even some of the Lion Rolls.

NOTES:

  • I used the mini pierogies for the recipe.
  • The recipe called for beef broth but I think the beef stock gives it more flavor.
  • * If you do use the lower fat beef, there will not be much in the way of drippings. I just used what was left and added in about 2 tbsp of butter.
