Ingredients

  • 2 (16-oz) packages frozen Classic Cheddar Pierogies
  • 2 (10.5-oz) cans Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 (16-oz) container sour cream
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 4 cups cooked chopped chicken
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Lightly spray a 9x13x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the frozen pierogies, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything until well blended.
  3. Step 3: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Step 4: Bake uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and heated through. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, sauté the mixed vegetables briefly before adding them to the casserole.
  • Feel free to swap the cheddar pierogies for other flavors like potato or onion to change up the taste.
  • Add a sprinkle of paprika or fresh herbs on top before baking for a colorful finish.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, add an extra ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese in the last 10 minutes of baking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm the casserole covered in a 350ºF oven until heated through. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain the best texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I use fresh chicken instead of cooked chicken?

It’s best to use cooked chicken to ensure the casserole heats evenly. If using raw chicken, cook it thoroughly before mixing into the casserole.

Can I freeze this casserole?

Yes, you can freeze the casserole before baking. Cover tightly with foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
