You couldn't get any closer to a real perogie, than this out-of-this-world tasting perogie-style casserole. Sauerkraut may be added to the potato mixture if desired. To save time, the potato/cheese mixture may be prepared a day ahead, just heat them before spreading in the pan, the noodles could be boiled a day ahead as well. You will be very suprised at how much this casserole tastes like perogies...it is a must try! (note: prep time does not include boiling the noodles, or cooking the potatoes). Ingredients:
