Very, very good! Nice comfort food meal. As it is approaching St. Patrick's Day, I substituted the bacon for 1/2 lb of chopped cooked corned beef and simmered it with the cabbage and onion. Excellent recipe, Lainey. I'll make this a lot. Thank you! -
Very delicious!! I changed it up a bit to make it with less calories: I left out the bacon and then fried the cabbage and onion in calorie-free butter spray; I used white whole-wheat egg noodles, low fat cottage cheese, and only 8 ounces of cheese; I also left off the butter and cracker crumbs at the end. I also used half mozzarella and half colby jack cheese only because the store didn't have shredded muenster and I was too lazy to shred it myself. I was expecting to like this but it was even better than I expected! Thanks for the recipe!! -
A family favorite. I used flip side crackers one time. The pretzel flavor made this outrageously good. I also used feta cheese. mmm. -
From one yinzer to another, Lainey this is fantastic! A combination of two Pittsburgh favorites! I followed the recipe exactly--but recommend making the day before for flavors to blend. Thanks for a great recipe! -
Great casserole. I love pierogis and this is a great way to capture that flavor.

Wow, what a great casserole! DH ate almost half of it himself. He loved dinner tonight. I served this with kielbasa which was perfect. Didn't change a thing in the recipe except for using wide ribbon egg noodles in place of the kluski noodles which I couldn't find. This was just a wonderful combination of flavors and was really pretty simple to put together. The crumbs on top added that little extra touch!
