Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion halved and then thinly sliced into half moons
- 4 oz thinly sliced deli ham cut into thin strips
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 16 oz package frozen potato-cheese pierogi
- 1 small head broccoli cut into small florets
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
- In a large broiler-proof skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the ham and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until the onion starts to lightly brown, about 2 more minutes. Add the broth and cook until the onion softens, another 3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the pierogi and the broccoli. Cover the pan and cook until the broccoli is tender and the pierogi is cooked, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, chives and paprika, and season lightly with salt.
- Turn on the broiler.
- When the broccoli is tender and the pierogi is heated through, remove the lid from the pan and sprinkle in the cheese. Place the skillet under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the pierogi are browned, 2-3 minutes.
- Serve with the sour cream sauce.
