Bacon Pierogi Bake

I got this recipe from Cooking Light and it was awesome. Comfort food at its best. Also, super easy.


Ingredients (I doubled the original recipe)
-2 (16oz) packages frozen potato and onion peirogies, such as Mrs. T's
-4 slices of turkey bacon
-4 garlic cloves, chopped
-2/3 C (6oz) reduced fat cream cheese
-1 C chicken broth
-1 C shredded cheddar cheese
-one bunch of green onions, sliced diagonally
-1 C cherry tomatoes, cut in halves
-pepper to taste

Steps
(Preheat oven to 400)
1. Arrange frozen pierogies in two casserole dishes coated in cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, crumble into pieces, and set aside.
3. Add garlic to bacon drippings and cook for about 30 seconds on medium heat.
4. Add cream cheese to pan and cook for a couple of minutes or until cream cheese begins to melt. Stir frequently.

5. Gradually add chicken broth to pan, stirring with a whisk until smooth.

6. Pour the cream cheese sauce evenly over pierogies and top with shredded cheese.
7. Bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes dump the cherry tomoatoes on top of the pierogies. Cook for another 10 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and top with bacon and green onion.


Note: These were great leftovers the next day.
