 Step by Step Instructions

 STEP 1: 

I poured a bag of frozen cheddar pierogies into a large mixing bowl and poured some vegetable oil over the pierogies.

 STEP 2: 

I added smoked paprika, garlic powder and onion powder to the bowl.

I tossed the pierogies until they were well coated in the oil and seasonings.

 STEP 3: 

I poured the pierogies on to a parchment lined baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer.

 STEP 4: 

I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the pierogies until they were crispy, flipping them once about halfway through the cooking time.

 STEP 5: 

While the pierogies were cooking, I dropped some ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat.

 STEP 6: 

I added some dehydrated minced onions to the skillet with the ground beef.

I stirred well and continued cooking until the ground beef was well browned.

 STEP 7: 

I added a packet of taco seasoning to the skillet.

I stirred until all of the meat was coated in taco seasoning and continued cooking for a couple minutes.

 STEP 8: 

I added some water to the skillet.

I stirred well and continued cooking until all of the liquid evaporated from the skillet.

Then I turned off the heat.

 STEP 9: 

I spooned the ground beef over the cooked pierogies on the baking sheet.

 STEP 10: 

I sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ground beef.

 STEP 11: 

I returned the baking sheet in the oven and baked the pierogi nachos just until the cheese was fully melted.

Every bite is packed with crispy golden pierogies, savory taco-seasoned beef, and gooey melted cheddar that stretches with every forkful.

Add a dollop of sour cream, some fresh green onions, and your favorite nacho toppings, and you’ve got a dinner that’s loaded with bold flavor and irresistible comfort.

Whether you’re serving them for game day, a casual get-together, or a fun family meal, these Pierogi Nachos are guaranteed to disappear fast.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use a different flavor of pierogies?

• Absolutely! Cheddar pierogies pair perfectly with the taco-seasoned beef, but potato and onion, four cheese, or even classic potato pierogies all work well.

Do I need to thaw the pierogies first?

• No. This recipe is designed for frozen pierogies, which crisp up beautifully in the oven without thawing.

How should I store leftovers?

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?

• Reheat them in a 375°F oven or an air fryer for a few minutes to crisp the pierogies back up. The microwave works too, but the pierogies will be softer.
