Pierogies are little potato filled dumplings, boiled and then fried, although I’ve learned they can also be filled with other things like meats or cheeses. Depending on how you fix them, they could be a side or even a main dish, and the many possible ways to fix them are only limited by your imagination. This recipe for macaroni and cheese pierogies is so rich and yummy!
I’ve had problems in the past with pierogies sticking to the pan when I’m frying them, but with this recipe, you don’t have that problem since you’re baking them in a sauce.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 16 ounce boxes of roasted garlic potato pierogies
- 2 15 or 16 ounce jars of roasted garlic Alfredo sauce
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 3 Tablespoons milk (any kind)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups broccoli (partially cooked)
Mix together the Alfredo sauce, milk, 1 1/2 cups of the Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan together in a saucepan.
Heat over low to medium heat, stirring until the cheese melts.
Cover the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish with a couple of spoonfuls of the sauce, and then layer over that one box of the pierogies.
Next layer half of the sauce and all of the partially cooked broccoli (if desired, or you can leave this out). The original recipe used peas, but I think broccoli just seems to go with cheese!
Layer on the other box of pierogies.
Cover with the remaining sauce, Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 25 minutes.

I have everything to make this…looks great. Should i let the frozen pierogies thaw in the fridge first? Or will they cook thoroughly in the oven as frozen
No need to thaw! 🙂
