Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 9 pieces lasagna noodles
- 5 medium potatoes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 piece small onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cups cooked and crumbled bacon
- 0.25 cups sour cream
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook lasagna noodles until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Peel and dice the potatoes. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, about 15 minutes.
Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, and sour cream to create creamy mashed potatoes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, adjusting to taste.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion in 1 tablespoon of butter until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Assemble the casserole: Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of mashed potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of sautéed onions, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers (noodles, mashed potatoes, onions, bacon, cheese) until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous cheese layer on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Slice into portions and enjoy your Lazy Perogy Casserole!
