The Main Course
Gram's Quick Pierogi Casserole
INGREDIENTS
- 10-12 potatoes
- 3/4 pound cheddar cheese (grated)
- 2 sticks butter or margarine
- 2 onions
- 1 pound lasanga noodles
PREPATION TIME: 20 minutes
COOK TIME: 20-45 minutes
PRE-HEAT OVEN: 350 degrees
STEP 1: Wash, Peel & Cut into chunks 10-12 potatoes. Put them in water to cover and boil until they are soft when stuck with a fork.
STEP 2: While the potatoes are boiling, peel and dice 2 onions - finely chopped. Saute onions in butter or margarine until soft.
STEP 3: Then cook 1 lb of lasagna noodles (Follow directions on package).
STEP 4: Once potatoes are done, mash as usual (Add milk, butter pepper, etc to taste, then whip with beater until smooth)
STEP 5: Add cheese and beat into mixture
STEP 6: Add 1/3 of the sauteed onions to potato mixture. (Add salt here if needed)
STEP 7: Butter a 13 inch x9 inch baking dish
STEP 8: Place one layer of lasagna noodles on bottom of the baking dish.
STEP 9: Then, cover noodles with one thin (1/2 inch) layer of the potato mixture.
STEP 10: Add another layer of noodles, then a layer of potato mixture. Repeat until mizture is gone - ending with a layer of lasagna noodles on top.
STEP 11: Pour remaining sauteed onion/butter mixture over the top of last layer of noodles.
STEP 12: Cover the baking dish, and put in an oven pre-heated to 350 degrees until heated throughout. (This can take as little as 20 minutes if done after preparing dish, longer if dish has cooled.)
LOWER-FAT OPTION: Use butter alternative or low-fat margarine.
This dish can be made with instant mashed potatoes, too. It tastes like Polish pierogies, but is much less work and faster.
