So, leading into the July 4th, I probably should have made something more appropriately festive for Independence Day.<\/p>\n

But when I saw the most Polish of Polish recipes I was a) sad that I didn\u2019t think to make it on the little-celebrated Casimir Pulaski Day<\/a> and b) sure that I had to make it immediately. I mean, c\u2019mon, it has kielbasa and pierogies. What more could I ask for? Oh yeah, it also has hot sauce.<\/p>\n

Almost better than all of that, you can basically throw it all together on a pan with some peppers, onions, oil and a couple of spices, and you have dinner in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

The only downside is my desire to find hippie, sustainable kielbasa meant we had to hit up more than one grocery store, but thankfully, Fresh Thyme<\/a> once again came to the rescue. But of course, if you don\u2019t care about that (even though you should, sorry not sorry), kielbasa does abound in grocery stores.<\/p>\n

The recipe tells you to mix the ingredients in a bowl first. I was even too lazy to do that. In hindsight, it was a cramped fit on my sheet pan that made stirring the spices and olive oil more difficult on the pan, so it is probably preferred. However, if my sheet pan were bigger than its 15×13-ish proportions, it\u2019d probably be fine, and honestly, stirring halfway through helped with the exception of one pretty spiced (and delicious) pierogi.<\/p>\n

And two sheet pans or a bigger one would be nice to get all the pierogies touching the pan and therefore have a bit more crunch. But let\u2019s be honest, pasta stuffed with cheese and potatoes is amazing no matter what.<\/p>\n

OMG, that sausage is cooked to perfection, and look at those spices on the stuffed pasta. Noms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s the recipe that I found linked to off of Buzzfeed but comes from the Foodie with Family<\/a> blog:<\/p>\n
