These 3 ingredient Crock Pot Pierogies are incredibly easy to make and taste so good! It’s one of the best slow cooker recipes of all time.
A while back I shared one of the easiest recipes I have ever made – Crock Pot Ravioli. It quickly became one of the best crock pot recipes that I have.
MY LATEST VIDEOSI’ve even made Crock Pot Alfredo Ravioli using a similar recipe. So, I got to thinking….why not pierogies?
Really, folks, it doesn’t get any easier than this recipe.
It’s one of those things that you can make with items that in your pantry. You don’t need fancy ingredients. In fact, there are only 3 ingredients in this recipe.
It’s perfect for those times when you want a meatless meal without any fuss. And, it’s perfect for busy nights when you don’t have time to even think about dinner.
When it comes to slow cookers, there are many options available – from the basic to the ultra fancy. Here are some of my favorite slow cooker products and cookbooks:

Do you put the butter and onions on top of the pierogi, or on the bottom?
Christina Hitchcock says
I put them on the bottom, but I’m sure either way would work just fine.
Jennifer Mierzejewski says
Can you leave the perogi in the crock pot to stay warm if you were bringing it to a pot luck?
Christina Hitchcock says
Yes, ma’am! 🙂

Do they turn out cripsy and brown as shown in the picture using the crockpot?
Christina Hitchcock says
All of the recipes I post on my site are the actual photos from when I make the recipes. I don’t “fake” the photos for styling purposes. In this case, the pierogies came out of the slow cooker, were put right in the bowl and then photographed. The ones that were touching the crock, got the browned edges. My recommendation would be to put them in a single layer in the bottom of the crock so that you get maximum browning. I hope this helps 🙂

Hi Christina,
Is it 1/2 cup butter or 2 cups?
Christina Hitchcock says
1/2 cup
Stacy says
Can you use fresh instead of frozen and if so how long do you cook them for. Also does it matter what flavor the pierogis are
Christina Hitchcock says
I wouldn’t use fresh for this recipe…frozen is best. The flavor doesn’t matter 🙂
A Polish boys says "I don't care how you spell it" says
1 box ain’t gonna do it. Will this recipe handle a full crockpot of pierogi? At least 4-6 boxes? What would the cooking time be?
Christina Hitchcock says
I think as long as your slow cooker is big enough so it’s not over-full. I would cook them for at least 6 hours.
Debbie Winnicky says
At any point in time do you stir. My recipe, very similar to yours, worked the first time. I put margarine on each layer with cooked onions and bacon. They turned out great. The second time not so great. Thought I did the same thing but they came out in one great big blob. What should I do different.
Thanks
Christina Hitchcock says
I do not stir, just set and forget. Here are somethings to check… Did you use frozen pierogies both times? Did you exceed the 3-4 hour cooking time? Did you have your slow cooker set to low?
A Polish Girl says
It’s “pierogi”, singular and plural.
Christina says
Thanks for letting this Italian Norwegian know 🙂 I will update the recipe!

I think there are more important things to think about than the way somone spells Pieogri

Not if it’s your culture and we’re all trying to be sensitive to the individuality
