Directions

Step 1

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

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and golden, about 6–7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, cooking for an additional minute. Remove from heat.

In the prepared baking dish, arrange the frozen pierogies in a single layer.

Spread the creamy mashed potato mixture evenly over the pierogies. Sprinkle the sautéed onion and garlic mixture on top.

Step 6

Top the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Dot the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, broken into small pieces.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting and satisfying meal!
