This is very good and easy to make. I made a big one and a smaller one. In the small one, I added some sauerkraut. That was also very good.

This recipe was delicious. I used egg noodles rather than lasagna noodles, which was a fine substitution. Would definitely make this again - I'd love to try it next time without Velveeta but with some real cheese blend... Thanks for sharing!

This was a perfect substitute for the pieroges my family loves. Since my family is small I halved the recipe and put it in a 8x8 casserole dish. I used the leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving. I melted velvetta and cheddar in the potato mixture. I also put a layer of velvetta slices on top of the first layer. (We love cheese.) Each family member got to top of their helping with what they wanted. One used sour cream and bacon bits, the other loves spaghetti sauce with this. Thanks Manda for posting.
