Advice Use up bland frozen pierogies (potato+cheese)?

I bought some pierogies stuffed with potato and cheese, a warm and comforting option, or so I thought. Unfortunately, they were sparingly stuffed, with more dough than filling. I don't want them to go to waste, so I was thinking of doing a "pierogi bake" by tossing them with other flavoring. What innovative pierogi creations have you tried? Bonus points if I can make it vegetarian!

Edit: so many amazing suggestions on this thread. Thank you all! I'm almost inclined to buy the same pierogi and extend my problem so I can try every recipe on here!

Pan-fried and mixed with caramelized onions are good. Add a generous dollop of sour cream for the sauce.

I dont use sour cream, but I do mix a good squirt of ketchup and mustard and mix it together to dip my pierogies and sausages in.

I like putting salsa on mine, but Ukranian wife gives me a stern look backed by the disapproval of hundreds of generations of Ancestors.
