Polish lazy pierogi are a simple and delicious main that you can have ready in about half an hour. If you’re feeling like eating pierogi but can’t spend the next two hours making them, this recipe is for you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

These are called “lazy” because they use most of the ingredients needed to make cheese pierogi, but the whole process is simplified, so there’s no rolling out the dough, cutting out the pockets and filling each dumpling, and pinching the ends together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, these take half an hour or so to make, instead of over an hour (up to several hours, depending on the filling) needed to make regular pierogi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, polish lazy pierogi are vastly different from lazy pierogi known in the US<\/strong>. The US version is a pasta casserole, while the polish one is, in essence, a cheese dumplings recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also make these using boiled potatoes instead of ricotta. I cover that in the polish potato dumplings recipe<\/a> post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re making polish lazy pierogi for the first time, read the ingredients notes, step-by-step instructions, and tips, and pick a topping you like. If you’re a veteran, feel free to jump to the recipe card.<\/p>\n\n\n
