Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the bacon in a pan over medium high heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until bacon is crisp.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Pour off most of the bacon grease in the pan; leaving 2 teaspoons. Reserve the extra bacon grease for later use.
- Place the onion in the pan with the bacon grease and cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Remove the onion and garlic from the pan. Add 2 more teaspoons of bacon grease to the pan.
- Add half the pierogies to the pan, cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until browned.
- Repeat the process with the remaining pierogies. Place all the pierogies, 3/4 of the bacon, onions and garlic in the pan and stir to combine.
- Spread 1/3 cup of the Alfredo sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Add 1/2 the pierogi mixture over the sauce.
- Add another 1/3 cup of the sauce, then use the remaining pierogi mixture to create another layer.
- Spread the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top of the pierogi mixture, then top the casserole with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese has melted and started to brown. Top with reserved bacon and green onions, then serve.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of pierogies that you like. I typically use classic cheddar, but I’ve also made this recipe with the onion and 4 cheese medley varieties.
- This casserole can be assembled up to 8 hours before you plan to serve it. Simply store the casserole covered in the fridge, then uncover and bake when you’re ready to eat. You may need to add a few more minutes to the baking time to compensate for starting with a cold casserole dish.
