You can quickly thaw pierogies in boiling water. Just add frozen pierogies and cook for about minute or two and drain. They wont be completely thawed at this point but they will finish cooking in the oven.
You can use any flavor of pierogies that you like. I used potato and cheese along with potato and onion.
The Mrs. T's pierogies come in 16 ounce boxes but I used 2-13 ounce bags of another brand that I had on hand. My recipe fit into a 9 inch pie plate but if using the Mrs. T's you will want to use a baking dish that is around 2 quarts.
