This was decent. I'm Polish, so I grew up eating pierogis, and I've gotten so sick of them. This sounded like an interesting twist on regular pierogis, and all in all it's not a bad side dish. Next time I might skip the tomatoes though, they add too much acidity and Poles would never serve pierogies with tomatoes. The mushrooms and onions are a traditional topping though. My parents also liked chopped bacon on theirs as well, and I might try using that next time. This can also easily be served as a main dish if you use meat pierogis, which is nice.

This is fantastic!! I am always looking for new ways to use pierogis, but I may never have them any other way again. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

My husband and I really enjoyed this casserole! We added some grated mozerella. I might add some more tomatoes next time because the last couple of pierogies were a little dry.

Sorry Gang, forgot to add this for you as an fyi--something I tried and it turned out great! Even if you don't have the potato and cheddar one go ahead and use the potato & onion--still following the recipe--about 5 minutes before it due to come out of the oven, grate up--for real, not in the precut nonsense--your favorite cheese, sharp, NY'er sharp, mozellera, etc and let it melt over the casserole. Its awesome and that's a promise! Enjoy! Again thanks for sharing this recipe, its great!!
