Sheet Pan dinners are a favorite because they are easy to prep and you don’t have to worry about preparing separate side dishes. All the food groups are taken care of. And this sausage and pierogies sheet pan dinner is no exception. Make sure to check out even more Easy Sheet Pan Dinner Ideas.

It’s a wholesome meal made with minimal ingredients that you can assemble on a sheet pan and bake. Everything is ready at the same time and you’ve got easy one-pan clean up!

Cabbage is one of my favorite frugal ingredients because it is so versatile, dirt cheap, and stays fresh in the fridge for months! Add to that smoked sausage and your favorite pierogies and you’ve got a complete dinner ready in 30 minutes.

Why You’ll Love This Smoked Sausage and Pierogi Recipe

  • It’s such a simple meal to make. Once you’ve gathered your ingredients and have placed them on the sheet pan, you’re pretty much done making the meal and can leave it cooking in the oven until it’s ready!
  • The sausage pairs perfectly with the cabbage and pierogies, making this a tasty, nutritional dish that you will love.

Ingredients

Frozen Pierogi – Use a 16-ounce package of frozen pierogi. Any flavor of pierogi is delicious, and I’m partial to onion and cheddar.

Smoked Sausage – You’ll need one 13-ounce package of smoked sausage. You can find this with the deli meats in your grocery’s refrigerated section.

Cabbage – Depending on the size of your cabbage, feel free to use 1/2 to a whole cabbage.

Olive Oil – Use whatever oil you have on hand. This will help with browning and prevent the pierogies from sticking to the sheet pan.

Spices – I like to add a bit of onion powder and garlic powder, but it is completely optional.

How to make This Sheet Pan Dinner 

It only takes a few ingredients to make such a delicious meal! Once you see how easy it is to prepare this dish, it may quickly become one of your favorite dinners to make. *See the recipe card for complete ingredients and instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces and shred the cabbage thinly. 
  3. Lay the sausage, pierogi, and cabbage on a baking sheet.  
  4. Drizzle everything with olive oil, then top with garlic and onion powder.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and toss the ingredients.  Bake for another 15-20 minutes.  
  6. Remove and sprinkle with a little black pepper.

Variations

  • Feel free to add other vegetables that will stand up to the roasting like carrots or onions
  • I like to add a spoonful of sour cream when serving. The cool, tartness balances with the richness of the pierogies.
  • With both the sausage and pierogies, use your favorite flavor – kielbasa, turkey sausage, whatever you love.
  • This recipe scales so easily. If you’re making for two people, use 1/2 a box of pierogies. If you’re feeding 8, double everything.
