I kept mine vegetarian using traditional cheddar pierogies. But, you can use any flavor you like best. Toss in some cooked chopped bacon, sliced smoked sausage, leftover chicken, beef or ham, or anything else you think would be dreamy with potatoes and cheese.

Want some onion flavor? Sauté some chopped onions while the oven is preheating and add them in. Use chard or other soft green instead of the spinach. Leave out the mushrooms if they aren't your thing. Spice it up with some canned or freshly chopped chili peppers.

It is so easy to mix and match flavors to make this Spinach Mushroom Pierogi Casserole your family's favorite.
