The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Use high-quality frozen perogies for the best flavor and texture.
Cook the onions and bacon until the onions are soft but not browned.
Try adding garlic or herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor.
Top the perogies with shredded cheese before serving for a gooey, cheesy finish.
For a crispy texture, finish the perogies in a hot skillet after slow cooking.
Serve with different sauces like ranch dressing or hot sauce for a variety.
Try different flavors of perogies, such as potato and cheddar or sauerkraut and mushroom.
Stir in a dollop of cream cheese or sour cream before serving.

Worked like a charm! I set up all the ingredients in the crock before I left to run errands and pick up a rotisserie chicken to serve with the perogies. Came home and dinner was basically made!

I agree that this is a great way to dress up frozen perogies so that they taste like you made them from scratch.

I do this same thing in the fry pan and it takes a whole lot less time. If you have to saute the onions first, you might as well do it all in the pan. Either way tasted the same to me.
