-10 Greek olives

Directions: Mince garlic in the bowl of a food processor.

Quick, Easy, "Cheater" Pierogies
Courtesy of: Agnieszka
Makes 12 servings

Fun and easy alternative to the old-fashioned, labor intensive pierogie. Very delicious and quick. Taste of traditional pierogie without spending the whole day in the kitchen! Of course, traditional recipe is best, but this is also very good. But this is NOT a lowfat meal, so only eat this occassionally. **Normally, I only make half of this recipe, because 12 servings are too many for only me and room mate.**

Ingredients:
-4 onions, chopped
-4 tablespoons butter
-1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
-16 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
-4 cups instant mashed potato flakes
-1/4 cup butter
(I also add chopped carrots, some dill herb and garlic powder to taste, but this is optional, and based on personal preferences.)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Saute onions in the butter until translucent and soft.
3. Cook and drain lasagna following package directions.
4. Make potatoes following package directions for 12 servings. Combine the onions with the potatoes.
5. Place a layer of noodles over the bottom of the baking dish. Cover with a layer of potatoes, sprinkle with cheese and pats of butter. Repeat ending with noodles sprinkling top with cheese and butter. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour. ENJOY!
