My family L-O-V-E-S fresh, homemade pierogies, but let’s face it they’re a bit labor intensive. That’s why I came up with this Cheesy Pierogi Lasagna! The lasagna noodles provide similar taste and texture to pierogies, plus they’re a lot less work! This pierogi lasagna is SO much easier to make than potato pierogies! It’s also a great dish to bring to potlucks!

For this Cheesy Pierogi Lasagna recipe I added all of my family’s favorite cheese pierogi ingredients plus some crispy bacon. Let’s face it; everything is better with bacon! If you’re a pierogi purest, simply leave the bacon out.

Cook’s Note – Cheesy Pierogi Lasagna:

• This pierogi lasagna can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance, just add 5 minutes to the cooking time when you’re baking a chilled casserole.
• Since this pierogi lasagna is very rich I like to serve it with a nice leafy green salad or steamed vegetables.
• Use a high quality sharp cheddar cheese (I like Tillamook or Kerrygold) in this recipe. Use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded packaged cheese.
• If you’re feeling super decadent, you can serve this pierogi lasagna with a dollop of sour cream.

Cook’s Tools – Cheesy Pierogi Lasagna:

• 9×13 pan
• medium skillet
• slotted spoon
• large mixing bowl

Ingredients

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 8 ounces bacon about 8 slices, sliced thin
• 1 medium onion diced small
• 4 cups mashed potatoes
• 4 ounces cream cheese softened
• ¼ cup chopped fresh chives plus more for garnish
• 2 cups about 8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Move oven rack to middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray, set aside. Boil and drain noodles as per package instructions.
• Meanwhile in medium skillet over medium-high heat cook bacon until crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Remove bacon with slotted spoon to paper towel-lined plate, and drain off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease. Reduce heat to medium, and add onions and sauté until translucent and edges begin to brown, about 6-8 minutes.
• In large mixing bowl add mashed potatoes, cream cheese, chives, onions, half of cooked bacon, and 1 cup shredded cheese. Stir until well combined; season with salt and pepper.
• Lay 3 cooked lasagna noodles on bottom of prepared 9x13 pan followed by 1/3 potato mixture, and 1/3 cup shredded cheese. Repeat 2 more times finishing with shredded cheese. Cover pan with foil and bake 30 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted. Remove foil, top with remaining bacon, and bake 5 more minutes. Remove pan from oven, cool 10 minutes, then slice and serve. Garnish with additional chives.
