• melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. stir in the cabbage and onion. cook and stir until the cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes.
• place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
• fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. once the water is boiling, stir in the pierogies and return to a boil. cook until the pierogies float to the top, about 5 minutes; drain.
