Instructions
PREP OVEN AND PAN:
Move oven rack to middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F.
Lightly spray a 9 by 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
MAKE PIEROGI LASAGNA ELEMENTS:
Boil and drain noodles as per package instructions.
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crispy, about 5-8 minutes.
Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a 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.
Add mashed potatoes, cream cheese, chives, onions, half of the cooked bacon, and 1 cup of shredded cheese to a large mixing bowl.
Stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
ASSEMBLE PIEROGI LASAGNA:
Lay 3 cooked lasagna noodles on the bottom of the prepared 9x13 pan, followed by ⅓ potato mixture and ⅓ cup shredded cheese.
Repeat 2 more times finishing with shredded cheese.
BAKE LASAGNA:
Cover the 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 for 10 minutes.
SERVE:
Slice and serve. Garnish with additional chives.
Notes
Since this pierogi lasagna is very rich I like to serve it with a nice leafy green salad or steamed vegetables.
If you’re feeling super decadent, you can serve this lasagna with a dollop of sour cream.
