Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 13×9-inch or 11×7-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange 12 pierogi in a single layer on the bottom.
In a medium bowl, mix the soup with three-quarters of the shredded cheddar. Pour half of this mixture over the pierogi.
Crumble half of the farmer’s cheese over the top, then sprinkle with half of the spinach, onion, and kielbasa. Season lightly with salt.
Repeat the layers with the remaining pierogi, soup mixture, farmer’s cheese, spinach, onion, and kielbasa.
Top with the remaining cheddar, season lightly with salt, and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbling and heated through.
Switch the oven to broil and broil for about 3 minutes until the top is crispy, watching closely.
Top with scallions before serving.

Notes

Use cheddar or jalapeño pierogi for extra flavor.

Swap cream of potato or cream of broccoli soup for a creamier base.

Replace kielbasa with mushrooms or plant-based sausage for a vegetarian version.

Ensure spinach is well drained to prevent a watery casserole.

Broil briefly at the end for an extra crispy top.
