How to Make Lazy Perogy Casserole

Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain well.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spread a layer of cooked noodles evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon onion salt. Mix well.
Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.
Layer another layer of noodles on top of the cottage cheese mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, mashed potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon onion salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
Spread the potato and cheese mixture evenly over the noodles.
Top with the remaining layer of noodles.
In a small frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour the sautéed onions evenly over the top layer of noodles.
Cover the baking dish with foil.
Bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream and extra grated cheddar cheese.
