Directions

In a large deep oven-safe nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef, onion, garlic, thyme and sage for about 5 minutes or until beef is no longer pink. Stir in mixed vegetables to coat.

In a small bowl, whisk together broth, flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Pour into skillet and stir to coat. Bring to a simmer, stirring. Place perogies into beef mixture in a concentric circle over top. Cover skillet with lid and simmer gently for about 12 minutes or until perogies are tender and puffed. Uncover and sprinkle cheese over perogies.

Place skillet about 6 inches (15 cm) under preheated broiler for about 4 minutes until cheese is melted and top is light golden. Let cool slightly before serving dolloped with sour cream and green onions, if desired.
