8 ounces sweet Italian sausage
1 (16.9) package frozen potato & onion or potato & cheddar pierogies
2 cups thinly sliced Italian or green peppers

In the same dish, combine pierogies, peppers and pasta sauce. Cover with plastic wrap, turning back one corner; microwave mixture on high for 5 minutes; stir gently. Continue to microwave, covered, for 5 minutes. Return sausage to dish; stir gently. Microwave, covered, until sauce bubbles and pierogies are hot, about 2 minutes.

Range Top Directions: In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook sausage and peppers until tender about 3 minutes. Add pierogies and pasta sauce. Cook, covered, over medium heat, until sauce bubbles and pierogies are hot in the center, about 10 minutes.
