And...well, I'm super busy this week, so that's all I've got. Not to mention the poor boyfriend is sick this week :( The sight of food isn't exactly good for him-cross your fingers I don't catch it! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy this cheesy, potato-y, nummy casserole!
Pierogi Casserole
From How Sweet It Is
- 8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 medium onion, chopped+more, to taste, on top
- 1/2 pound pasta (either farfalle or cut up lasagna noodles)
- 8 oz. cheddar cheese, hand grated (or apparently cubed/shredded Velveeta? I don't trust that stuff personally)+more, to taste, on top
- 1 1/2 sticks butter
Preparation:
- Set prepared potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Let them come to a boil and cook until tender-total time should be around 30 minutes.
- Cook pasta according to directions (DO NOT USE "OVEN READY" NOODLES!!! THEY WILL NOT WORK IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE!). Once the pasta is drained, mix with 2 tbsp. butter.
- In a skillet, over medium heat, melted 2 tbsp. butter and saute chopped onion until soft.
- Drain the potatoes and mash with 1 stick of butter and all the cheese. Mash until there are no lumps.
- Fold the sauteed onions into the potato mixture.
- Spread pasta in a large, greased, baking dish (I used 9 x 13). Spread potato mixture on top. Sprinkle more cheese and onions if desired.
- Bake in an oven, preheated to 350 degrees, for 25 minutes.
Oh la! Golden delicious! What a complete and satisfying meal. These types of casseroles make for wonderful leftovers too (that is, if there are any...)
ReplyDeleteI love caserole dishes. They usually taste even better the next day.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite meals, yours looks very tasty!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good, never had anything like this before but I bet it's so tasty.
ReplyDeleteVERY!
DeleteI hope your bf feels better soon and I've never done much for St. Patty's either. I love the concept and I love the excuse to drink Irish Car Bombs (although I haven't done that in AGES), but it's never been a big deal for me...
ReplyDeleteAw he's much better-thanks for asking :) And yeah..it's just...blah, and since I don't drink there's really next to no point to it for me lol. Just working!
