How do you make Cheesy Pierogi Casserole

Start by greasing a large casserole dish. Then layer half of the frozen pierogies in the casserole. Next spoon half of the alfredo sauce on top. Next sprinkle with crispy chopped bacon, chopped green onions, and some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Now layer the rest of the pierogies on top and spoon the rest of the alfredo sauce on top. Sprinkle with the rest of the chopped bacon, green onions and remaining cheese.

Then cover with foil and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly and cooked through.

Recipe notes and tips

Frozen pierogies are available in the freezer section of most grocery stores.
For ease in cleaning grease the casserole dish.
You don’t have to pre-boil the pierogies. They will cook just fine layered with the sauce and the cheese.
You can use any combination of creamy melting cheese that you like. I just think that the mozzarella and cheddar combo tastes best with the alfredo sauce.
Store leftover in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
The recipe reheats well in the microwave at a reduced power.

Recipe variations

Chicken Bacon Ranch – omit the alfredo sauce and replace with 8 ounces cream cheese mixed with 1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing. Continue with the rest of the recipe but add 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken to the layers.
Jalapeno Popper – omit the alfredo sauce and replace with 8 ounces cream cheese mixed with 1/2 cup salsa. Continue with the rest of the recipe but add 1/4 cup sliced or Pickled Jalapenos to the layers and replace the mozzarella with Monterey Jack Cheese.
Garlic Onion – saute onion and garlic in butter and add to the layers. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as written.
