Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the frozen pierogies in a baking dish coated with cooking spray or butter.
• Cook bacon in a saucepan on medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. Leave the bacon grease in the pan.
• Reduce heat to medium/low, add garlic to drippings in pan, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Then, add cream cheese and cook for a few minutes until the cream cheese had melted.
• Slowly whisk in chicken broth to the cream cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over pierogies. Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until bubbly and thoroughly heated.
• Remove from oven, uncover the foil and top with cheese, and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Top with reserved bacon, green onions, and tomato. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
