This is real excellent!! My husband made quite a face when I told him this was for dinner...but he was more than happy with the results. I used Betty Crocker Roasted garlic & cheese instant mashed & mixed in the cream cheese & 1/2 cup sour cream. I layed the onions in between the noodles & potato mixture...and added an extra layer of potatoes then sliced mozz on the very top. After baking, I stuck it under the broiler for a few minutes to make the cheese bubbly & give it some color. I also sprinkled with some paprika...it doesn't look appetizing at all, but the taste is FABULOUS!!I will definitely make this one again.

This was good, but a little bland. I always try to follow the recipe as written the first time so that my review is of the recipe, not my modifications. Next time, I will add more onion, some cabbage in with the fried onions... and layer it into the casserole instead of just on top. In fear of dryness noted by other reviewers, I prepared the mashed potatoes as per the box instructions, including adding the milk. NB: for those who like and use the "no boil" lasagna noodles... that's all I had, SO, BEFORE I started prepping anything else, I put the noodles into a heat-safe dish and poured VERY HOT water over them and let them sit for the entire time I was preparing the rest of the ingredients. I then used them like cooked noodles and it was perfect!! A little tweaking and this recipe will be REALLY good, but as a side dish, not a main course, which the name "lasagna" implies.

I made this last night and it turned out great. It tasted just like perogies. I did change the recipe a little from the advice of others. I did add a layer of fried white cabbage and a layer of the potato mixture on top. I also but some chedder and mozzarella cheese in it too. I made some kielbasa on the side from my husband and we both enjoyed the lasagna.

Yummy! Cooked up two onions for other layers and added a dash of sharp cheddar cheese. I did use the milk in the mashed potatoes, otherwise it would have been more difficult to spread. We will saute garlic with the onion next time. We will certainly make this again.

I made it basically as written. Just used more onion some salt & pepper and dotted the top with more butter before baking. Great recipe!

Made this last night, with a few changes: increased the amount of onion and added about 1/3 head of shredded cabbage (sauteed with the onion), plus approx. 1/4 cup of caraway seeds. Yum. A big hit!

I must have done something wrong with this recipe because it was very dry and bland. Out of five family members, only one said that she liked it. I followed the recipe as written, except I added the milk to the potatoes like some of the others suggested and it was still very dry. Maybe adding extra onions and butter to the layers might help, but the reception was not good at my dinner table, so I will not retry this one.

we enjoyed this recipe. very easy to make, and sure is cheaper than buying frozen pierogis. i did use yukon gold potatoes though, we don't really care for instant. i also used 2 large sweet onions. i made a huge pan of this so we had some leftovers for the next meal.

This was soooooo good!!!! I did tweak it a little. I put salt, pepper, garlic powder, chedder and mozzerella cheese in the mashed potatoes. I also added a little extra water, as some had said the middle was dry. I used some turkey bacon and sauted the onions in the same pan after. I used olive oil and butter for the onions. I did use lite cream cheese. I'm not sure how many calories were saved..hehehe... I put the onions and 1/2 the bacon in the middle and used the rest of the bacon on top. Of course I topped it off with more cheddar and mozzerella. DELICIOUS!!!!! my famliy loved it. I served it with a green salad, nothing else was needed. This one is a keeper...
