Top Tips
- You can use any flavor of pierogies. I am using the 4 cheese pierogies medley from Mrs. T's. It is the one in stock in my local grocery store freezer section.
- For the bacon, use cooked bacon slices, refrigerated microwave bacon, or even real bacon pieces. Do not use imitation bacon.
- No need to boil the frozen pierogies, they will cook just fine in the oven.
- Use a combination of cheeses for a richer flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan can be excellent choices.
- Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven. This helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to slice.
- If you have any leftovers, store them in your refrigerator for up to 4 days covered in plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
- Serve your pierogi casserole with a side salad or vegetables for a complete meal.
How to make Pierogi Casserole Bake
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 9x13" casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Layer half of the pierogies or one box into your dish in a single layer.
- Spoon half of the jar of alfredo sauce over the top of the pierogies.
- Sprinkle half of the bacon on top of the alfredo sauce.
- Place half of the chopped green onions on top.
- Layer half of the cheese next, then place the other half of the pierogies (other box).
- Repeat the rest of the layers, ending with the shredded cheese.
