Description
This slow cooker pierogi casserole is rich, creamy, and loaded with comforting flavors.
The pierogies soften perfectly as they cook, soaking up the tangy sour cream and melted cheddar,
while the bacon adds a smoky, savory bite. It’s a simple dish that tastes like it took
much more effort than it did.
Tips
- Use cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Stir once halfway through cooking for even creaminess.
- Add chopped green onions at the end for extra freshness.
- Serve with a light side salad to balance the richness.
Correction
- If the casserole seems dry, add ¼ cup milk or cream.
- Swap cheddar for mozzarella or Colby-Jack for a different flavor.
- Use turkey bacon or omit bacon for a vegetarian version.
- Avoid overcooking to keep pierogies from becoming too soft.
Enjoy
Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, cheesy pierogi casserole straight from the slow cooker.
It’s comfort food made easy and perfect for sharing with family and friends!
