Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Cook the frozen perogies in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic, cooked bacon, frozen mixed vegetables, sour cream, heavy cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Layer half of the perogies in the prepared casserole dish. Spread half of the creamy vegetable and bacon mixture over the perogies. Repeat with the remaining perogies and creamy mixture.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
