We all love Pierogies, but know that it takes hours to prepared and minutes to eat them!
I'm going to give you a Recipe for Pierogi Casserole, you make it the way it is or play with it a little, but one thing I can promise, make it and you will think someone ran down to one of our Perth Amboy's many churches and the little Ole Ladies made them for you!

- 1 LB. (box) Lasagna Noodles
- 5 LB Potatoes
- 1 LB. Grated Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Large Can Saurkraut Drained
- 1 LB Butter
- Salt
- Casserole Dish
pat of butter = about 1/4 inch slice**
Cook and Mash the Potatoes. Add about 1/2 cheese and 1/2 butter to the mash, salt to taste. *As an alternative you can use Instant Potatoes (but that didn't come from me)!
Boil the noodles until soft (not over cook please).
Once the Potatoes are mash and Noodles are cooked, you are ready to begin the casserole.
** Please Sauté your saurkaurt in butter, just for a little while to take edge off (sour).
Layer the bottom with some saurkraut, place a pad of butter or two, of a casserole dish, then
place a layer of noodles in the dish add a couple of pats of butter, layer of mashed potatoes, then layer noodles, layer of saurkaurt, repeat layering as desired but stop with a noodle layer on top.! If any Butter is left finish it off on top.
Note:
Butter is important in the world of Pierogies, so use it like there's no tomorrow. Remember the old days when you went to pick the pierogies up at church, the first thing you smelled was "melted Butter".
Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour - again don't over cook!
Serve with Sour Cream and or Apple Sauce..
Of course if you use *Instant Potatoes, it is quick to prepared, I won't tell (*_-).

*saute onions in some butter if you are going to use (I'm not crazy about the onion thing, wife is)
* Please Sauté your saurkaurt in butter, just for a little while to take edge off (sour).
