Steps:
- For the pierogi dough: Combine the egg, butter, sour cream, chives and salt with your hands in a bowl. Don't worry if the mixture is not uniform and, as with pie dough, don't overwork it. Add the flour and mix with your hands until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate the dough at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
- For the filling: Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of cold water. Bring to a boil. Season the water generously with salt. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until a knife easily pierces the potatoes. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot. Mash, slowly mixing in the hot cream and cold butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and toss to coat with the bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and sweet. Let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish or metal pan.
- Roll out the pierogi dough with a rolling pin on a lightly floured work surface to a 1/8-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 4-by-13-inch strips, re-rolling the scraps as necessary. You will need 14 to 20 strips.
- To assemble: Have the mashed potatoes, crisp bacon, caramelized onions, pasta strips and cheeses ready on a work surface. Arrange one layer of pierogi dough strips on the bottom of the buttered casserole dish, slightly overlapping the edges of the strips. Spread a 1/2-inch layer of potatoes on top of the dough. Top with some caramelized onions, bacon and a sprinkling of both Gruyere and farmer's cheese. Repeat the layers to use the remaining ingredients, finishing with the dough, followed by some Gruyere and farmer's cheese. Season the top with pepper.
- Bake until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let rest 15 to 20 minutes and then serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chives if using.

PIEROGI CASSEROLE
This recipe is inspired by Yooper's Awesome Pierogi Casserole (which truly lives up to its name!) recipe#47419 We love it, but DH loooooves cabbage pierogi, and I hate messing with lasagna noodles. So I modified it a bit to suit my family's requests....(and I cheat and use instant mashed potatoes, too)

Steps:
- In a skillet, brown one onion in 2 tbs butter, add drained sauerkraut, shredded cabbage, salt and pepper.
- Cook for 5 minutes.
- Set aside.
- In a separate skillet, cook bacon and onions to desired"doneness" (I prefer well-done).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Spread 1/3 of the mashed potatoes in 9x13 baking dish.
- Top with 1/3 of the cheese followed by a layer of egg roll wrappers cut to fit.
- Top with bacon mixture, 1/3 of the potatoes, and 1/2 of the cheese, and more egg roll wrappers.
- Spread cabbage-sauerkraut mixture over the this and top with egg roll wrappers.
- Spread remaining potates, top with egg roll wrappers, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve with Sour cream.
Tips:
- To make sure the pierogi are cooked evenly, it's important to use a large enough casserole dish so that they can be spread out in a single layer.
- If you don't have a steamer insert, you can use a colander or metal sieve placed over a pot of boiling water.
- Be careful not to overcook the pierogi, as they can become mushy. They should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- For a creamier casserole, use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk.
- If you like, you can add other ingredients to the casserole, such as cooked chicken, sausage, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Pierogi casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering. It's a great way to use up leftover pierogi, and it's also a great way to introduce new people to this classic Polish dish. With its creamy sauce, tender pierogi, and crispy topping, pierogi casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
