  • Add the oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, just until the onions are softened.

  • Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir everything together to evenly combine. Pour the vegetable sauce evenly out overtop of the pierogi in the baking dish, then spread it out in an even layer.
    2 3/4 cups pasta sauce
  • Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and sprinkle the cheese evenly overtop. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
    1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Really short on time? Buy presliced mushrooms and onions so you don't have to cut anything or just skip adding the veggies to the sauce.
  • Make clean up easier by spraying the baking dish with nonstick spray before you layer in the pierogi and sauce.
  • Don't skip the rest time. The casserole needs a few minutes to cool and set up before you serve it.
