How to Make Poor Mans Pieroghi

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and lay flat to cool slightly. Cut each noodle in half lengthwise.
  3. While noodles cook, boil cubed potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well.
  4. In a large bowl, mash cooked potatoes. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
  5. Spoon about 3-4 tablespoons of the potato and cheese mixture onto the center of each lasagna noodle half.
  6. Roll up the noodles, tucking in the filling to secure.
  7. In an 8x12 inch baking dish, arrange the pierogi in a single layer.
  8. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until softened and lightly golden (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Pour the onion-butter mixture evenly over the pierogi.
  10. Top with sliced kielbasa.
  11. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the pierogi are heated through and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
