My family loves perogies, so I decided to create my own version. I took these to a Christmas party and they won rave reviews. When we left the party, I took home an empty pan—not a crumb to be found. —Kim Wallace, Dover, Ohio

I have mad ethis many times, but I use fried up onions and garlic and add them to the potato mix. Stuff them set aside, Brown up another onion, and gently stir them with the stuffed shells. I cover and bake for 20 minutes.

I cheated and substitute the spices for Bob Evan's Garlic Mash Potatoes. I found it the easiest to fill the shells by placing the potato mix into a Ziplock back, snipping a corner, and piping it into them.

I also am a widow ,however I live with my daughter and her family. Sometimes I'm cooking for one and sometimes for seven! This recipe is so easy for one. Boil a few shells, mix up some instant mashed potatoes, or microwave some fresh potatoes. Then just jazz those potatoes up. You can add ham, bacon, sauerkraut, green onion, peas, the possibilities are ENDLESS!

These shells are wonderful. I made them for a work party last year and now every time their is a party everyone lines up and grabs them. My dish is usually the first to be emptied and I always make a double batch. Thank you very much for the wonderful quick and easy dish.

This was soooo good! I served it with sour cream on the side and it was excellent. I also used smoked cheddar because I had it in the fridge and I really liked the taste. Might try adding bacon next time but I intend to make this again!

This recipe sounds great.  Will definitely be trying it out.  Sometimes making perogies by stratch is a little too much work.
