This lasagna-style pierogi casserole takes the flavours of pierogis and puts them into a dish that’s quick and easy to make! It is a family favorite and the most popular post on my blog!

Do you like pierogis as much as we do? They’re so tasty but can be a lot of work to make from scratch. This recipe takes away all that work but keeps all the delicious flavor!

Easy Pierogi Casserole

This is a great recipe for using up leftover mashed potatoes. You can turn it into a vegetarian meal idea simply by substituting soy or another kind of vegetarian bacon for the regular bacon bits.

Although this is a super quick and easy recipe, I don’t find that it freezes well so it’s best to make it fresh.

Ingredients:

9 lasagna noodles, cooked as per package directions

4 cups mashed potatoes (you can make them fresh or use leftovers – if using leftovers like I did, you will want to warm them up a bit so that they will mix together more smoothly with the other ingredients.  If you’re making them fresh, mix in some sour cream instead of milk to emphasize the pierogi taste)

1/2 cup (1/2 of 250-g tub)  Herb & Garlic Cream Cheese Spread

(if using leftover mashed potatoes like I did, I also stirred in about 1/2 cup of sour cream with the cream cheese)

6 green onions, thinly sliced (save a bit of the greens to top the casserole with)

1/4 to 1/3 cup of bacon pieces/bits (you can use the prepackaged real bacon bits to make things even faster and easier) – TURN THIS INTO A FANTASTIC MEATLESS MEAL by using soy bacon or other vegetarian bacon bits instead

2 cups shredded Cheese – any kind you like but I used a blend of mozzarella and cheddar

Instructions:

Mix together the mashed potatoes, cream cheese, green onions, half of the bacon and half of the cheese. 

Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and lay 3 of the noodles in the dish. 

Spread on 1/3 of the potato/cheese mixture. Repeat 2 times. 

Sprinkle the rest of the bacon, cheese, and a few of the greens from the onions over the top. Cover with a lid or some foil (I like to spray this with the cooking spray too so that the cheese doesn’t stick to the covering). 

Bake at 375 degrees F for about half an hour. Uncover and bake another 5 minutes or so until the cheese is golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand about 10 minutes before cutting.

    I was (being of Polish decent) so happy to see this delicious looking recipe. I have tried two times to print it out and only receive the colorful photo. Is it possible to have just the recipe emailed to me so I can succesfully print it out. I’d love to make it and shre it with my family. Many thanks!

      Have tried to copy to Word and paste it? I sometimes have to then just copy the pictures one at a time. But it works.

      I usually just copy and paste into word to print it. Then you don’t waste paper with all the other bits that aren’t needed. But I’m sending you an email with the recipe in it. Enjoy!

    You think this would work with mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes?

    Thanks for the recipe, that sounds fantastic. I have to make this, and soon. I’m sorry lots of people have had difficulty in printing, I found it as easy as always, so I include instructions on what works for me. I hope it helps someone.
    Click on the three little lines or spots in the top right corner of your screen, just below the red cross you use to close a page. About halfway down the list it says Print. Click on this and select a page range, not all. Write 2-3 in the box and hit Print. This should work to print from anywhere on the internet, for a paper print, or to print to PDF.

    My family loves pieorgis. I’ve made them in the past but not very often because they are a lot of work. I’ve got lots of cauliflower and broccoli florets and I’d like to try this casserole with a cauliflower-broccoli mash.

      It is SO good. I love to make my own homemade pierogies but my recipe is fairly labour intensive so this is a yummy compromise. 🙂

    I remember helping family friends to make Pierogi for a wedding when I was in my teens. They tasted amazing, but what a lot of work! Your casserole is the perfect solution! So happy to discover this wonderful Pierogi Casserole. Sharing around, including on the Hearth and Soul Facebook page. Thank you so much for being a part of The Hearth and Soul Link Party, Cyn!
