Clayton has always loved Pierogi casserole and I love that I don’t have to make real pierogis!

- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions and cool under running water.
- Place ½ of the mashed potatoes into the bottom of baking dish. Top this with ⅓ of the cheese, followed by a layer of lasagna noodles. Repeat this with the remaining potatoes, another ⅓ of the cheese and add the onion and garlic on top. Add another layer of noodles, and finally top all with the remaining cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake, uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve with sour cream and enjoy.
