What are Pierogies?
Pierogies are similar to ravioli. It is a pasta dough filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings. I find them in the freezer section at the grocery store. For this pierogi casserole, I used two boxes of frozen garlic & parmesan pierogies.

- For crispier pierogies, melt butter in a large skillet and cook pierogies on both sides until starting to turn golden brown.
- You want the cream cheese to be very soft so it gets fully incorporated into the casserole. Microwave the cream cheese for 15 to 20 seconds if you are short on time.
