Ingredients

• 16 pieces Frozen pierogies (potato and cheese flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Yellow onion, sliced thinly
• 6 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Stir in the sliced onion with a pinch of salt, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 3

Meanwhile, if your frozen pierogies are stuck together, run them under cool water to separate them. Drain well.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, heavy cream, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper until combined.

Step 5

Arrange the pierogies in a single layer in the prepared casserole dish.

Step 6

Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pierogies, followed by the crumbled bacon.

Step 7

Pour the sour cream and cheese mixture evenly over the pierogies, making sure the mixture covers all the pierogies.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
