Ingredients

• 24 pieces Frozen pierogies (any flavor, preferably potato and cheese)
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one additional minute, then remove from heat.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and chicken or vegetable broth until smooth and creamy. Stir in the cooked onion and garlic mixture, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Spread half of the frozen pierogies in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the pierogies, spreading it evenly with a spoon or spatula.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the layer. Repeat with the remaining pierogies, cream cheese mixture, and cheeses.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on top.

Step 8

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh chopped chives, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
