Italian Sausage Pierogies Sheet Pan Dinner
I will never tire of singing the praises of a hearty sheet pan dinner that gets me out of the kitchen fast. So here’s me singing about my newest favorite Italian Sausage Pierogies Sheet Pan Dinner, la la la I LOVE IT!
Holy wow! I’ve never, that I can remember, roasted anything with balsamic vinegar on it. But now that I KNOW, well balsamic vinegar it’s GAME ON. This sheet pan dinner is the requisite fast and easy, and it’s just different enough to make everyone ask what it is, without complaining about it.
Italian Sausage Pierogies Sheet Pan Dinner
Pierogies forever!
I’ve come to adore oven-roasted pierogies, in fact, we all have. I buy them by the bag from Walmart, because then I can cook as many as I need and pop the rest back in the freezer.
I would happily just roast and eat pierogies at least 3 times a week, but my people demand variety in their diet. So I keep these on hand for that day when I need to pull off a quick dinner. And make everyone happy.
The balsamic will soak right in the frozen pierogies so I definitely recommend sprinkling some of it over, tossing, and then adding more. If you just pour it straight on you’ll have one supersaturated pierogi and the rest will be plain.
Ask me how I know. So sprinkle, toss, repeat!

My other go-to sheet pan dinners include some serious faves. Like this Oven Baked Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner which is so delicious! And these Alaska Cod Sheet Pan Fajitas make the best weeknight fajitas and they work well for Taco Tuesday too!
And of course, I am not forgetting my introduction to roasted pierogies, Kielbasa Pierogies Sheet Pan Dinner. Or this Chicken Shawarma Sheet Pan Dinner Either! Sheet Pan Dinners for the win!

Sheet pan dinners are the best! Love the frozen pierogies you used too…so easy! Yum!
That looks good. I’ve never oven roasted pierogies before. I will have to try that. I wonder if you could make a breakfast sausage version of this? Hmmm.
I adore sheet pan dinners and this one looks delicious! We make homemade pierogi with my aunt every December, so I have some in the freezer and can’t wait to try them roasted!
I added a tomato and covered it for the first round, I just chopped the sausage links into thirds . Hubby really liked it.
That sounds like an awesome variation!
It’s hard to find sheet pan recipes for fresh Polish sausage. I’ve made this recipe with Polish instead of Italian a few times, and also with fresh bratwurst too. Very good. Many versions are possible. Love pierogies – bit tired of potatoes, rice and noodles at the moment! Thanks!
