This pierogi casserole recipe has all the flavor of traditional pierogi except that it is made lasagna style.
As a Pittsburgher, I've been lucky enough to have some of the best homemade pierogis from some of the finest cooks. Recipes handed down from generation to generation.
I wouldn't try to compare this dish to their fine recipes. However, it does have similar flavors and it's really easy to make.
I started with lasagna noodles instead of making my own dough. I did boil these noodles. No-boil noodles need to have extra liquid in your dish for them to work so I generally don't use them.

Lots of onions are needed in this dish, but I do think that you could add even more if you want.
Layers of mashed potatoes with white cheddar mixed in. Topped with golden brown onions and butter give you all that delicious comfort food flavor of pierogis.
This would be great as a side dish at a holiday meal with ham or any pot luck party.

I have a Mac computer and when I clicked on one of your ads for "How to Cook and Eat" I get a bogus pop-up supposedly from Apple saying I have been hacked with a virus. I Googled the phone number and it is not Apple. Would like to know if anyone else has had this problem.
Thanks, Bonnie

I've never had this and I do like to try new things so it will have to try this on one of my cheat days, which happens to be Saturday. I agree with you, this would be a good holiday side dish.

Good good recipes. It was warm for two days and now cold again. Not winter cold but not warm either.
I will make the perogi dinner tonight. And oh the the lasagna and stuffed cabbage. Ohio. Amish country.
