Polish Pierogies with Peppers

Quick. Easy. Delicious. For those nights when you really don't feel like cooking. Possibly because you went out the night before. Late. On a work night.

Ingredients:

• 6 Potato and Cheddar Pierogies (I used Mrs. T's)

• Olive oil spray ( I use my Misto*)

• 1/2 cup sauerkraut ( from a bag or jar....not canned)

• 1/2 red or yellow bell pepper sliced in strips

• 1/4 tsp oregano 

• 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1. Boil the Pierogies according to directions.

2. Place a nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Mist the pan with the spray and add sausage, sauerkraut, peppers, and seasonings. Cook 4-5 mins until warmed through.

*Misto Oil Sprayer....much healthier than the cooking sprays you buy in the store. Who wants to eat propellant?
