Mock Pierogies

I have never had pierogies before so I don't know what they were supposed to look like or taste like.  But my husband has talked about loving them so when I found a recipe for Mock Pierogies, I thought I would make it for him.  He said it didn't taste or look like what he was used to eating.  I didn't really care for the meal.  It seemed the recipe lacked taste and flavor.  Not to mention it was very cheesy.  I love cheese but this recipe was a bit overkill on the cheese.  I don't think I will ever make this dish again.  If I do, I'll put some sour cream and maybe salt the pasta and potatoes beforehand.  With that said, here is the recipe for the meal.

Mock Pierogies

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup onion, chopped
6 to 7 potatoes, peeled, cubed, and cooked
16 oz. pkg. shredded cheddar cheese, divided
16 oz. pkg. bowtie pasta, cooked

Combine butter and onion in a slow cooker; add potatoes.  Sprinkle with half the cheese.  Spread pasta on top; sprinkle with remaining cheese.  Cover and cook on low setting for 30 to 40 minutes; stirring occasionally.

Serves 6 to 8.
