Ingredients

• 24 pieces frozen pierogis (potato and cheese filling recommended)
• 12 slices bacon
• 1 pieces large onion
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1.5 cups sour cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 1 spray nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.

Step 3

While the bacon cooks, slice the onion thinly. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet, add the butter, and sauté the onions over medium-low heat until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Arrange the frozen pierogis in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, cream cheese (softened), and milk until smooth. Stir in salt and black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the pierogis.

Step 6

Top the pierogis with the caramelized onions, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy the addictive, cheesy, and savory perfection!
