Grilling Tip: To prevent sticking, always brush the foil on the grill with olive oil before placing the Pierogies on it. This will create a non-stick surface and make it easier to remove the Pierogies without tearing or sticking to the foil.
Enjoy your delicious and spicy BBQ grilled Pierogies with a tangy blue cheese or cool ranch dressing on the side!
Ingredients
- 1 package of Mrs. T’s Classic Cheddar Mini Pierogies
- 1 cup homemade spicy BBQ sauce (1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp each garlic powder and onion powder, 1/2 tsp hot sauce, Salt and black pepper to taste)
- Olive oil for brushing
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing for serving
- Aluminum foil
Directions
- In a saucepan, combine all ingredients for BBQ sauce
- Whisk until well combined and sugar dissolves.
- Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Let cool and store in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut a large sheet of aluminum foil and fold up the edges to create a small rim. This will prevent the Pierogies from falling through the grill grates. Place the foil on the grill and brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Carefully place the Mrs. T’s classic cheddar Pierogies on the oiled foil. Make sure they are evenly spaced and not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
- Close the grill lid and cook the Pierogies for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are lightly browned and heated through. The exact cooking time may vary, so keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- While the Pierogies are grilling, prepare the homemade spicy BBQ sauce. You can use your favorite recipe or store-bought sauce and add some additional spices or hot sauce to make it spicier, if desired. Warm the sauce in a small saucepan or microwave.
- Once the Pierogies are grilled to perfection, carefully remove them from the foil using tongs or a spatula.
- Place the grilled Pierogies in a serving dish or platter and drizzle them generously with the spicy BBQ sauce. Toss them gently to coat each Pierogy evenly.
- Serve the spicy BBQ grilled Pierogies hot with a side of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping. The creamy dressing will help balance the spiciness of the BBQ sauce.
