French Onion Pierogi Casserole

Falling in love with French onion soup and pierogies separately was easy, but combining them into one dish? That was a game-changer in my kitchen. This casserole brings together the deep, caramelized flavors of French onion soup with the comforting, doughy goodness of pierogies, creating a dish that’s both familiar and excitingly new.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 frozen pierogies
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized, about 25 minutes. Tip: Don’t rush the caramelization; low and slow is the key to unlocking the onions’ sweetness.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  4. Arrange the frozen pierogies in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes. Tip: No need to thaw the pierogies; they’ll cook perfectly in the oven.
  5. Remove the dish from the oven and pour the onion mixture evenly over the pierogies. Sprinkle with Gruyère and mozzarella cheeses.
  6. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 15 minutes. Tip: For an extra crispy top, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking.

Just out of the oven, this casserole is a harmonious blend of creamy, cheesy, and caramelized flavors, with the pierogies offering a delightful bite. Serve it with a crisp green salad to cut through the richness, or enjoy it as is for the ultimate comfort food experience.
