Love corn casserole? Love one-pot meals? Try this easy Pierogy Corn Casserole and you’ll fall in love with pierogies all over again! Creamy, dreamy deliciousness.
This post is in partnership with my friends at Mrs.T’s Pierogies – makers of delicious pierogies! All opinions are my own.
Super excited to share another recipe to show you how versatile pierogies are! They’re pure comfort food and even your pickiest eater (kids or adult!) will approve of this seasonal end of summer recipe, Stuffed With The Stuff You Love!
Today we’re taking a classic and making it simpler and easier.
EASY PIEOROGY CORN CASSEROLE RECIPE
This is not your average thick cake-like casserole, it’s rather a creamy, saucy baked corn.
The sauce has a hint of garlic and butter for flavor, and cheese is optional! I love this recipe because it’s made simply with just a few ingredients.
Ingredients for the Pierogy Corn Casserole:
- Pierogies! They’re the heart of the casserole, and they are what make this a hearty dish. There are a variety of flavors to choose from, but today I opted for Mrs. T’s 4 Cheese Medley.
- The corn. Fresh is best, however, frozen kernels work great here, as well.
- Garlic
- Cream
- Seasonings: salt, pepper and chili flakes.
- Cheese: optional
How simple is that? If you’re feeling fancy, add some fresh thyme, basil pesto, or plenty of cheese to cover the tops of your casserole.
Since my pierogies are already cheesy on the inside, I won’t need to add any extra.
HOW TO MAKE EASY PIEROGY CORN CASSEROLE
So here’s how to make this heart-warming, bright and hearty pierogy corn casserole recipe from scratch.
Start by removing the corn kernels form your fresh corn.
Sauté minced garlic in some butter until fragrant.
Add in the corn kernels and cook over medium heat for a few minutes to infuse the corn with garlic flavor.
Add in the cream and bring to a simmer.
You can now make this recipe into individual servings using individual ramekins like I did above or use a larger oven dish (as you can see below).
You’ll start by placing your favorite Mrs. T’s Pierogies at the bottom of the ramekins (or single large dish). The pierogies go in the pan straight form the freezer, no thawing required.
Now, you’ll be drizzling the creamy corn garlic mixture over the frozen pierogies and covering the pan with foil.
Bake the casserole for 15 minutes and uncover. If you love a charred top, at this point, you can set your oven to broil. Two minutes later and you have a perfectly charred-top pierogy corn casserole!
Finally, to finish the recipe, sprinkle some fresh thyme, basil or parsley, and add another pinch of chili flakes if you like a bit of heat.
And just like that, your pierogy corn casserole is ready!
EASY PIEROGY CORN CASSEROLE TIPS
- Aim for fresh corn or frozen corn kernels as best as you can for this recipe.
- You can swap the garlic for shallots to flavor the casserole or use both.
- You can use olive oil instead of butter if you prefer its flavor.
- Pierogies add texture and substance to the casserole, they also make it a hearty meal. Pick your favorite flavor to pair it with the corn.
- Don’t thaw your pierogies for this recipe, they cook beautifully in the oven without thawing.
- Make this recipe into 6 individual servings using single serve oven dishes or use a 9-inch oven safe pan. If you want the pierogies to be in a single layer, then go for a 9X13 inch oven safe pan.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
- ENJOY!
