Pierogi and Smoked Sausage Casserole

Hearty pierogis and smoked sausage in a simple cream sauce make this one spectacular and very easy dinner!

Here is another big hit from one of my recent parties!  No one could guess just how easy this casserole is to make for how delicious it really is!

Seriously.  All prepared food, little prep and something that tastes like you fussed is really something special.

So many ways to make this special and different

You can change this up by the cheeses you use to top it and even the flavor of the pierogis.  I used a mixed cheese variety–which was all my store had (hello??? selection???)–but I think this would taste even more super with an onion/cheese variety.

Another way I’d like to try this is to use again an onion or mixed cheese pierogi, substitute cheddar cheese soup for the mushroom and Italian sausage for the Polish sausage. Endless combos can make this special each time!
