Pierogi Pie is a Cross Between Loaded Baked Potatoes and Mac n’ Cheese

What started as an irresistible pun, a pie-rogi pie, became a winning comfort food pie that tastes like a cross between loaded baked potatoes and macaroni and cheese.  Each bite of pierogi pie yields a touch of pierogi dough with potato and cheddar filling, bacon, sour cream, caramelized onions, and melted cheddar cheese – all the good stuff!

The pierogi pie comes together quickly.  Have a look:

If you want to be ambitious, you can make homemade pierogies to use for the pie (they will be tastier than the store-bought ones).  But, if you are in a hurry, store-bought pierogies will suffice.

I suggest potato and cheddar pierogies, but you can experiment and select your favorite flavors.

The pierogies on the edge of the pie get slightly brown and crispy and the rest of the pierogies remain moist due to their blanket of toppings.

Pierogi pie makes a great side dish, however it can also be dinner on a night when you are craving the ultimate comfort food!

Pierogi Love: New Takes on an Old-World Comfort Food

The recipe for the caramelized onions used in this pie comes from the book Pierogi Love.  They take longer to make than other grilled onions that I have made (about two hours!), but they are incredibly flavorful.

I made my pierogi pie as a mini 5″ pie.  One pie is good for two people for a lunch or a side dish.  Double or triple the recipe to make more pies or larger pies.
