I made a quick and easy cold weather comfort food for dinner on Saturday. It was a hit (well, with Perry at least):
Cut 1 - 2 pounds kielbasa into medallion sized pieces and brown in a large dutch oven or kettle. I throw in a bit of butter while it browns.
Remove the browned kielbasa but do not discard the drippings. Add 1 cup chicken broth to the drippings and heat to boiling. Add 1 head of cabbage (cut up) and fresh garlic (to taste) to the broth*. Mix well.
Layer on top of the cabbage frozen potato and cheese pierogies (available frozen at most stores), and the browned kielbasa. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer stirring occasionally until cabbage is softened and pierogies are headed through.
* I usually just eyeball the amounts of the various ingredients. Other ingredients that can be added: onion, carrots, etc.
