Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 sheets uncooked lasagna noodles
- 4 large potatoes
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 medium onion
- 2 cups, shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.5 cup bacon bits (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and boil until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely dice the onions and sauté them in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them with 4 tablespoons of butter, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Set the mixture aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
Assemble the casserole by spreading a thin layer of the mashed potato mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, trimming if necessary to fit.
Spread 1/3 of the remaining potato mixture evenly over the noodles, then sprinkle with some of the sautéed onions. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with a layer of mashed potatoes on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top. Add bacon bits if desired.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Lazy Perogies Casserole!
