Ingredients

• 24 pieces frozen perogies
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or a light coating of butter.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen perogies and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until they start to float. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add cream cheese, sour cream, and chicken or vegetable broth to the saucepan. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Layer half of the cooked perogies in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Pour half of the cream cheese sauce over the perogies, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the first layer. Add the remaining perogies on top, followed by the rest of the cream cheese sauce.

Step 7

Top the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this rich and delicious dish as a standalone meal or alongside a fresh green salad!
