REPIN this Pierogi Casserole Recipe!
I have made this so many times but I have used different Soups but my 3 favorites are Cream of Bacon, Broccoli and chicken soup.
That sounds delicious! I am glad you are enjoying this recipe 🙂
Amazing! My husband and I are foodies and are pretty picky when it comes to recipes and this one was delicious and I will definitely make it again. Thank you!
So happy you enjoyed it, Rita!
Thanks For Sharing this amazing recipe. My family loved it. I will be sharing this recipe with my friends. Hope the will like it.
It’s really delicious but only one box of frozen Pierogis fit in the bottom of my 9×13 pan. Do you double up? We leave out the meat entirely because I don’t eat pork and it’s still pretty yummy. Maybe I’ll try shredded chicken next time!
Hi Barara, the casserole asks for 28 pierogies. Take a peek at the video for more information about how it is put together. You can see the pan in the video. The pierogies are one layer on the bottom. And adding chicken sounds great! Hope that helps.
Where can I find the video?
Thank you.
You’ll find this video within the write up of the post, just above the ingredients section. I hope that helps!
Can I make ahead of time, cover and refrigerate since it calls for frozen pierogi’s?
We have only made the recipe as listed Julie. If making ahead of time, I would probably recommend fresh pierogies. If you do try storing it with frozen pierogies, let us know how it goes!
Can you use frozen ravioli?
I’m sure that would work perfectly!
This exceeded my expectations! My husband, two year old, and I loved it! Thanks for the recipe!!
Glad you loved it Chandni! It’s so great finding a recipe that your family loves!!
Bake covered with foil?..
I bake it uncovered, Brenda. Enjoy!
Yum! We’ve made this several times, and my favorite version uses feta and spinach pierogis with cream of chicken soup. It’s a guaranteed hit with our 1.5yo!
Great idea! Glad your family enjoys it Mary!
