Instructions
* Leave the boxe(s) of frozen pierogies on the counter for about 1 hour before starting this process so they can thaw.
Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet and add cabbage and onions. Stir well and cook over medium heat until cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, paprika, salt, thyme and cayenne pepper and cook an additional minute. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, sour cream and broth. Fold in cabbage, kielbasa, and thawed from frozen pierogies, 1 cup cheese and pour into prepared casserole dish.
Spread evenly in dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes or until center is hot when a knife is pushed into it. Remove from oven and discard foil. Top with remaining cheese and return to oven for 4-5 minutes to melt. Serve hot!
