AIP Perogie Casserole

Perogie’s how I have missed you! It’s been almost three years since I have eaten a perogie and I have to say this recipe has filled the void! So if you miss the bacony, cheesy, oniony goodness of perogie’s then you MUST try this recipe! You may have thought it wasn’t possible, but this recipe is totally AIP compliant! So what are you waiting for?

Perogie lovers unite!
