July 6, 2023 – South San Francisco, CA – from Chef Ava Marie’s Facebook page
South City’s own Chef Ava Marie shared an easy recipe for Beefy Pierogis on her Facebook page recently. See the recipe below and make it for dinner tonight!
“Yesterday I made a delicious easy skillet pierogi meal using Kirkland’s signature ground beef, frozen mixed vegetables, and 1 tablespoon brown gravy mix. I got the pierogis at @grocery_outlet for $2. It contains spinach, broccoli, and cheese, it’s so good and such a hearty dish.”
Skillet Beefy Pierogi Meal
1 package spinach and cheddar pierogis
1 lb Kirkland signature ground beef one of 6 pack from @costco
1 onion chopped
1 teaspoon @kindersflavors caramelized onion butter seasoning
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon @mccormickspice brown gravy mix
1 cup water
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
Cheddar cheese for serving
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat brown beef and onion until rendered down. Drain excess fat but reserve 3 tbl of fat to pan. Add the rest of the meat to the pot and add seasonings, flour, gravy mix, and water. Cook until thickened, 2 minutes, then add in frozen mixed vegetables and pierogis. Cook uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring to combine so it doesn’t stick to the skillet. Add more water if needed to help break up bits – only 1/4 cup, but no more or it will be watery.
Divide into serving plates and top with cheese and enjoy
