Uber Braten Kielbasa And Sauerkraut Casserole Recipes

UBER-BRATEN - KIELBASA & SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook egg noodles as per directions on package. I really like the Pennsylvania Dutch Kluski noodles as they add great texture to this dish, but I'm sure any thick egg noodle will work. Set aside.
• Slice or cube kielbasa - we cube as we like it spread throughout the casserole more thoroughly.
• Heat butter in dutch oven until melted, stir in flour and seasonings. When mixture is well combined add milk. Bring to a boil for one minute, stirring constantly.
• Add 3/4 cup of cheese, stir until melted.
• When sauce is ready stir in sliced kielbasa, drained sauerkraut and pre-cooked egg noodles.
• Pour into a 3 quart casserole.
• Mix remaining cheese with bread crumbs and sprinkle over casserole.
• Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until heated through.

• 12. Note: When preparing this casserole, you can use a Bavarian Sauerkraut in place of regular sauerkraut. Plus the original recipe states to use 2 cups of the kraut, but I just use 1-1/2 cups. Also, you can use smoked sausage in place of the Kielbasa. I used smoked sausage, and the brand of sausage I used was, Eckrich.

Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly, to make a smooth, thick sauce. Whisk 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese into sauce until melted.
