Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Wide egg noodles
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the wide egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, finely dice the yellow onions. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the onions. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden and caramelized.
Reduce the heat to low and add the drained egg noodles to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Stir well to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Add the cheese mixture to the skillet with the noodles and gently stir until everything is evenly coated and the cheeses are melted into a creamy sauce.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper, if needed.
Transfer the lazy perogies to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, quick-to-make dish!
