Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces frozen perogies
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or a light coating of butter.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen perogies and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until they start to float. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add cream cheese, sour cream, and chicken or vegetable broth to the saucepan. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper.
Layer half of the cooked perogies in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Pour half of the cream cheese sauce over the perogies, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the first layer. Add the remaining perogies on top, followed by the rest of the cream cheese sauce.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this rich and delicious dish as a standalone meal or alongside a fresh green salad!
