Decided to do a BBQ twist on one of mom's recipes. PIEROGI!
[soapbox]
Please do not call them pierogies, no need to make it extra plural. Pierogi is already plural, if you want only one, it's a pierog. But why would you want only one?!?!?
You don't put socks on your feets do you? Do you brush your teeths? I rest my case.

Bernice's famous pierogi. I remember it being a pretty easy recipe, but I didn't realize it was this easy. My daughter is the holder of mom's recipes, a least those we could figure out as she rarely measured anything. Like her yeast roll recipe... Anywhere from 10 to 14 cups of flour. WHAT?!?!?!
RECIPE
So for this go around I used some boneless short ribs, on sale at the local Mexi-Mart.
Into the FEC they go.
Into a pan with some wine, hatch chiles and green onions and back into the FEC.
I suck at making dough. Probably why I don't make pizza more often, but mom's recipe looks like even I could do it.
My daughter has the "official" pierogi cutter, so I had to improvise with one of my glasses. BTW, the official pierogi cutter is also a glass. Holy Crap, my arms hurt... Made 3 1/2 dozen.
Shred everything up, scoop some filling in and crimp shut.
When they're all filled into a pot of salted water. 3 -4 minutes and they'll float. Since this meat was already cooked, you can take them out right away.
Fry them up with some butter...
Holy crap was that good. Mom, why didn't you make these? Because you had no idea what BBQ was? OK, I'll give ya a pass.
Thanks for looking.
