Step 1
Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add frozen pierogi and cook until they float plus 2 minutes more. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes. Stir in paprika and a pinch of salt. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add remaining 2 tbsp butter to the skillet. Cook sliced onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and soft, ~8 minutes.
Step 4
Return cooked pierogi to the skillet with the onions. Add the cooked pork back in and toss gently to combine. Cook over medium-high until pierogi edges are golden and crispy, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Divide pierogi among bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream and scatter fresh dill over everything.
