Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 20 frozen classic onion pierogies
  • 1 medium sweet onion diced small
  • 16 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 ounces pork kielbasa diced medium size
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded/divided (shred your own for better melting)
  • 2 stalks green onions sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and brown the frozen pierogis and diced onions in two batches. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper.
  • To assemble the casserole, start by layering half of the pierogis on the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Add 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the kielbasa, and 1/3 of the cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining pierogis and other ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
  • Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before topping with sliced green onions and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Spray the casserole dish with nonstick spray for easy cleanup.
  • For best results, thaw your frozen pierogi slightly before cooking them in your frying pan.
  • Substitute the butter for olive oil.
  • Leftover casserole will last in the fridge for 4-5 days. To store leftovers, cover tightly or place in an airtight container. 
  • Make a double batch of this yummy recipe and freeze one before baking.
