Bacon Pierogi Bake
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 32 oz package frozen potato and onion pierogi, (these are normally sold in 16 oz packages and you will buy two)
- 12 slices bacon
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 oz plain cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced green onions
- ⅔ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and arrange the frozen pierogi in a single layer. You may have some overlap and that is just fine.
- Slice the bacon into ½-3/4 inch pieces. In a rimmed skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Leaving dripping in the pan, transfer to a plate, and set aside.
- Add garlic to drippings in pan, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add cream cheese to pan, whisk and cook for 1 minute or until cream cheese begins to melt. Add the chicken broth and pepper to pan and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over pierogis. Top with cheese and then the bacon.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with tomatoes and green onions. Serve immediately.
