Can you use frozen pierogies in this recipe?
You can use frozen pierogies, but you must thaw them before making the dish. To thaw them, you can place them in the fridge at the start of the day to allow them to defrost, or you can boil them for three minutes and drain them before adding to the dish.
What so you serve it with?
We like to top this pierogy pizza casserole with our favorite pizza toppings like black olives, chopped bell peppers and fresh basil. It’s great to serve with a Caprese Salad or Shoestring Fries on the side.
Can you make this casserole ahead of time?
This is a great make ahead casserole. You can make the whole dish and keep it covered in the fridge for 2 or 3 days until you are ready to bake it.
Leftovers will keep well for 3 or 4 days and can be reheated, covered with foil, in an oven to be warmed through.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
