  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to make Lazy Wife dumpling casserole in the oven? First, make the filling for the casserole. Beat the eggs into a bowl, add sour cream and salt and ground black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk until smooth. For the recipe, I used homemade eggs, sour cream with a fat content of 20%, instead of sour cream you can use mayonnaise.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Peel the onion and cut it into cubes. Fry it in a frying pan with preheated vegetable oil for 10 minutes over medium heat. Stir the onions so they don't burn. The onion should turn out transparent and golden, but you can fry it hotter, like dumplings with potatoes.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    Take medium-sized dumplings of good quality - they are the basis of the dish. You can also use homemade dumplings with pork or mixed minced meat to prepare the casserole. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and heat it in the oven for 5 minutes. Place dumplings in one layer.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    Salt and pepper the dumplings to taste, taking into account that the filling is already salty, then evenly place a layer of fried onions on them. To prepare the casserole, you can also use a frying pan with an iron or removable handle.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Pour the egg-sour cream mixture over the dumplings. It should cover the contents of the form completely.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Place the dough in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 40 minutes. 10 minutes before the end, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the dish with cheese. Return the casserole to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is melted and browned. Cool the finished dish a little, cut into portions and serve. Bon appetit!

Children in our family love dumplings and eat them in any form. True, we rarely buy store-bought ones, but then a coincidence happened and we had to prepare something without unnecessary manipulation. Frying onions is a quick job) My dumplings were small, and the mold was deep, so I poured them in 2-3 layers, hoping that they would be baked. I added a little extra cream to the filling so that there was enough liquid for all the dumplings. The cheese was just melted, I grated it on a medium grater and mixed it with the filling. It would be much tastier with hard cheese, I think) I baked it for about an hour, covered. This was enough for all the layers to bake and set into a single mass. The casserole was well cut when hot, and the children ate it with pleasure. My daughter liked looking at the layers of dumplings in cross-section and taking out the meat) The main thing is that the children are well-fed, and the mother rested during this time! I also tried this casserole, I really liked it, I love the combination of dough and meat, and even in such a tasty filling. Thanks for the recipe, it really helped!

What a funny and very convenient way to prepare dumplings and serve them, great, it will help many of our girls quickly feed their insatiable husbands, and I will offer it to my sons, you see, they will need it. But how delicious it is, this method greatly improves the usual taste of ordinary boiled dumplings, I like it!

As I understand it, these are just dumplings, and not rolls with meat in dough? Oh, it looks so delicious!

It’s very tasty, but I also put a few very thin plastic carrots on the bottom, and instead of mayonnaise I used milk with some greens added 😉👍😋
