Instructions:
-
Thaw Pierogies: Begin by placing the pierogies in boiling water for approximately 5 minutes until they are thawed. Once done, drain them and keep them warm, ready for the next step.
-
Prepare Chili Mix: While the pierogies are thawing, take a skillet and combine the salsa and chili. Stir them together over medium-high heat until the mixture is hot and begins to bubble, which should take around 4 minutes.
-
Add Corn: Once the salsa and chili mix is heated through, reduce the heat to medium. Then, add the frozen corn to the skillet and allow it to cook for about 6 minutes, ensuring it’s thoroughly heated and infused with the flavors of the salsa and chili.
-
Assemble and Serve: Arrange the warm pierogies on a serving platter or individual plates. Next, generously pour the chili mixture over the pierogies, ensuring each one is coated with the flavorful sauce. Finally, sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the chili. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors and textures!
Tips:
- Variation: Feel free to experiment with different types of salsa to adjust the spice level according to your preference. You can also customize the filling of the pierogies to include your favorite ingredients for a personalized touch.
- Garnish: Enhance the presentation and flavor by garnishing with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream.
- Storage: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stove for a quick and tasty meal.
