8 -10 slices rye bread (with caraway seeds)

  • In a skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter and saute 1/2 the onions with the ground pork until onions are lightly browned.
  • Mix onion, pork and any drippings into sauerkraut.
  • In same skillet, add 2 tablespoons butter and saute remaining onions and mushrooms until onions are clear.
  • In small saucepan, combine sour cream, mustard, milk and 1 tablespoon flour, mix well and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
  • Gradually stir in broth, continue heating and stirring until sauce thickens again.
  • Stir mushroom mixture into sauce.
  • Spread sauerkraut mixture evenly over bread in casserole pan.
  • Spread parboiled noodles evenly over sauerkraut.
  • Pour sauce mixture evenly over noodles.
  • Cover noodles with a layer of kielbasa.

  • or until noodles are tender.
  • Remove foil, cover the top of casserole with shredded cheese.

  • Mix soup, mustard, remaining sauted onions and milk together well and use in place of"scratch sauce".

This casserole was a disappointment. The kielbasa was tough and the noodles were overcooked. The cheese sauce was also bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time, like garlic powder or paprika.

This was a delicious and easy casserole to make. I used smoked kielbasa, which gave it a great flavor. I also added some diced green peppers and onions, which added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again!
