I recently tried bacon pierogi bake and it was more than amazing! I never realized what I was missing until a few weeks ago. I have been skipping on this recipe for no reason at all. Until one day when I was looking for a new dish to try. My family instantly loves this pierogi. It is topped with melty cheese, crisp bacon, and green onions. I will be sure to make this again and again!
INGREDIENTS
4 slices of bacon, chopped
1 (16 ounces) package of frozen potato and cheddar pierogies
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. chicken broth
2-3 green onions, chopped
1 c. cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounces) package of cream cheese, softened and cubed
1/4 c. chopped seeded plum tomato (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
HOW TO MAKE BACON PIEROGI BAKE
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees. In a lightly greased 9 x 9-inch baking dish, arrange the pierogies.
Step 2: Cook the bacon in a medium skillet until crispy. With a paper towel-lined plate, transfer the cooked bacon.
Step 3: In the same pan with the bacon drippings, saute the garlic for about 30 seconds. Then, add the cream cheese and continue to cook while stirring often, until the cream cheese starts to melt.
Step 4: Slowly, stir in the chicken broth until smooth. To taste, season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Evenly cover the pierogies, and pour the cream cheese mixture. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until heated through and bubbly.
Step 6: Take the dish out of the oven and top with cheese. Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Step 7: Before serving, top the bacon pierogi bake with the cooked bacon, some green onions, and tomato. Enjoy!
