FAQ Section
1. Can I use fresh pierogies instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh pierogies, but they may cook faster than frozen ones, so check the casserole after 2-3 hours to avoid overcooking.
2. Can I make this casserole without the canned soup?
If you prefer to avoid canned soup, you can make your own cream sauce by mixing 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of flour and 1/2 cup of broth. Whisk together and use it in place of the condensed soup.
3. Can I add more cheese?
Absolutely! If you love extra cheesy dishes, feel free to mix more shredded cheese into the casserole, or add some Parmesan for extra flavor.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftover casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.
5. Can I freeze this casserole?
Yes, you can freeze this casserole, but the texture of the pierogies may change slightly upon reheating. Freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat before serving.
