Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces frozen potato and cheese pierogies
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen pierogies and cook for 2 minutes to slightly soften. Drain and place them in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Stir the shredded chicken, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (reserve a small amount for garnish), green onions, salt, and black pepper into the creamy mixture.
Pour the chicken and cream mixture evenly over the pierogies in the baking dish, ensuring all the pierogies are coated.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and drizzle the melted butter over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with the reserved crumbled bacon and additional green onions, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, ranch-flavored comfort dish with your family!
