Oh my goodness, this is so good...real comfort food. It can easily be made vegetarian just by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and not adding the bacon....
Enjoy!
Baked Pierogi Casserole
Frozen potato/cheese pierogis are a regular dinnertime dish at our house. Mr Plain is a big fan of them. I have never made them from scratch, but, we have eaten them fresh from restaurants and our local farmers market. He tells that mine are better. Yes, the frozen ones from the package. To each his own, right? Well, I prefer the fresh, but, until fresh are made in my kitchen, which may not be happening too soon, the frozen will have to do.
This casserole gives regular frozen {or fresh} pierogis a little extra pizazz. It's pierogis, cheese, more cheese and bacon... and isn't everything a little better with cheese and bacon?
Ingredients:
16oz frozen pierogis
2-3 slices cooked bacon,crumbled
1/3 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4-1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
chopped green onions, optional
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray 13x9 baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Arrange frozen pierogis in dish. In a saucepan, mix cream cheese and chicken broth. Stir frequently until cheese is melted and smooth. Pour melted cream cheese mixture evenly over pierogis. Sprinkle evenly with cheddar cheese. Bake 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and pierogis are warmed through.
Garnish cooked dish with crumbled bacon & chopped green onions
PEG’S NOTE: You can make this vegetarian by just omitting the bacon.
