For the Casserole
  • 24 oz Frozen Pierogi The heart of the dish; use fresh for a quicker cook.

  • 1 medium Onion Building block of flavor; replace with shallots for subtle sweetness.
  • 10.5 oz Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup Creates a creamy base; swap with cream of chicken for a different taste.
