This is a one skillet dish that my whole family loves! It's great to serve with a salad right after studying Eastern Europe with your kids. It's not traditional, but it's delicious. Since it's carb heavy, it sticks to your ribs too.

How to Make Eastern European Skillet
- Slice the onions into thin rings, slice the potatoes into thin slices and then in half, slice the kielbasa.
- In a large, cast iron skillet, heat fat of your choosing on medium heat and saute onions and potatoes until cooked and slightly golden. Add pepper and a small amount of salt as they cook.
- Push cooked potatoes to the side and add frozen pierogies and a little more oil or butter. Cook for 4 minutes with a lid on. Turn the pierogies and mix with the potatoes.
- Add the kielbasa and stir. Cook until slightly browned and warmed or at least 4 more minutes for frozen pierogies. Homemade can be added with the kielbasa. Add the sauerkraut and stir. Cook until warmed through.
- Top with slices of Swiss cheese and put the lid on until cheese melts. Serve from the skillet with a large green salad.
