Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces frozen pierogis (potato and cheese filling recommended)
- 12 slices bacon
- 1 pieces large onion
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 spray nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.
While the bacon cooks, slice the onion thinly. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet, add the butter, and sauté the onions over medium-low heat until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Arrange the frozen pierogis in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, cream cheese (softened), and milk until smooth. Stir in salt and black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the pierogis.
Top the pierogis with the caramelized onions, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the addictive, cheesy, and savory perfection!
