Chicken Pierogi Bake
This recipe is a twist on one of my favorite casseroles that is taken to a whole new level with the irresistible flavor of bacon. Smoky bacon infuses a creamy cheese sauce and combines with herbs and spices to create an incredibly decadent cheese sauce that is perfect for this dish…
Helpful Tips
- Pre-shredded cheeses have additives to help keep the cheese from sticking together, called anti-caking agents. They also change the way the cheese melts and will cause thickening of your recipes. Skip the pre-shredded cheese and grate your own. I store it in a zip-top bag in the fridge and it keeps for several weeks.
What you will need to make Cheesy Chicken Pierogi Bake:
- Medium Sauce Pan –
- 9×13 Baking Dish – I have my favorites and this set is one of them. The 9×13 is perfect for casseroles and the smaller size is awesome for making 1/2 a casserole recipe.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Great way to use prepackaged pierogi or even ravioli if you don't have pierogi.
De cualquier forma estará buenísimo.

yummy yummy yummy i got my mouth watering for all of them!!!! gotta get the recipes and get my mom cooking!!!! she will love it!!!
This chicken and Pierogi is delicious! My family loved it. Thank you for posting it.
Did you put the flour & butter in the bacon drippings? Someone else asked that question & it was never answered, my guess is yes, Thank you!
LOVE this recipe…Can you tell me who makes that baking dish?? The amazon link takes me to a Pyrex dish
What are frozen pierogies?
30 minutes was all it took to make this and it was so good!
Have you tried freezing this? Would it work well? I’m working on gathering a few more unique recipes that freeze well to provide freezer meals for foster/adoptive families. I have plenty of more traditional freezer meals but I’m looking for something different. I so love your recipes!!!!
