Bacon Pierogi Bake

Ingredients

  • 1 16-ounce package frozen potato and onion pierogies (such as Mrs. T’s)
  • cooking spray
  • 2 center-cut bacon slices
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup thinly diagonally sliced green onions
  • ¼ cup chopped seeded plum tomato
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Arrange the pierogies in an 11 x 7-inch glass baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cook bacon in a saucepan over medium heat until crisp; remove from pan. Set aside and crumble once cooled.
  3. Pour out all but about ½ teaspoon of bacon drippings. Add garlic to pan, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add ⅓ cup cream cheese to pan, and cook for 1 minute or until cream cheese begins to melt, stirring frequently. Gradually add chicken broth to pan, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over pierogies. Top evenly with ½ cup cheddar cheese. Bake at 400F for 20 minutes or until bubbly and thoroughly heated. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with bacon, green onions, tomato, and pepper.
