    Oh this was HEAVENLY and tasted exactly like pierogies! I had been thinking about attempting to make my own pierogies but every recipe I saw seemed sooooo time consuming. Then I saw this one. I made it the night before, put it in the fridge then threw it in the oven for about an hour the next evening. It came out absolutely delicious. I ended up halving the recipe to make a 9" square pan full instead of the huge pan this recipe is for, and it gave me more than enough for the three of us. I also happen to love the potato & onion pierogies better than potato & cheese, so I only used about 1/2 cup (of american cheese because velveeta is so expensive) I also used my mini food processor to make the onions almost a puree and added half of that raw to the mashed potatoes, then sauteed the other half just because I didn't want chunks of onion. Lastly, I threw the raw lasagna noodles in the boiling water along with the potatoes and just used a fork to remove them when they were done. Saved me from having more dishes to wash! I'm sorry this review is so long, but Manda, thank you thank you for such a fantastic, EASY way to enjoy pierogies!

    Hi All, I read all the other reviews. I want to share now..as a young woman/girl the gals all helped with the preparations. Doing it all myself seemed like such a task when I recently wanted to do the old fashion recipes. So I made 3 seperate fillings and used Won Ton wrappers in place of the pierogie. I did about 50. The whole family ate them all in one meal. But I was not pleased. I had plenty of all 3 fillings left and froze them. The recipe I found here for the potatoes, onion, mushroom, and cheeese filling I tried with the Lasagna noodles....turned out great! Thank you Manda
