Uber-Braten Kielbasa and Sauerkraut Casserole image

I happen to come across this recipe at food.com. HeidiRenee had posted the recipe, but I did tweak the recipe just a bit. I love this casserole, and could eat this at least once a month. It's great comfort food! If you love sauerkraut, then your going to love this dish!!

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces wide noodles
1 (14 oz.) pkg. kielbasa or smoked sausage
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
1 teasp. garlic powder
1 teasp. onion powder
1/4 teasp. black pepper
1/2 teasp. dry mustard
3 cups milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1-1/2 cups sauerkraut, drained (*see note)
4 tablesp. plain dried bread crumbs
2 tablesp. melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Grease the inside of a 2-1/2 to 3-quart casserole baking dish; set baking dish aside.
  • 2. Cook egg noodles as per directions on package; set aside.
  • 3. Cut Kielbasa or smoked sausage into chunks, then cut each chunk in half; set aside.
  • 4. Melt the 1/3 cup of butter in a large saucepan. (I used a 3-quart saucepan).
  • 5. Stir in the flour, garlic power, onion powder, pepper, and mustard.
  • 6. When mixture is well combined, gradually add the milk. Bring mixture to a boil for 1 minute; stirring constantly until the sauce has thicken. (Mine started to thicken in less than a minute.)
  • 7. Add the cup of cheese to the pan, stir until melted.
  • 8. Add the Kielbasa or smoked sausage, plus the drained sauerkraut to the pan, and stir.
  • 9. Pour mixture into the greased baking dish, then stir in the precooked noodles.
  • 10. Top the casserole with a mixture of 4 tablespoons of bread crumbs mixed with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  • 11. Bake casserole (uncovered) for 25 minutes in a 375ยบ oven.
  • 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.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of kielbasa in this casserole. It turned out great!

I made this casserole in my Dutch oven over the campfire. It was the perfect meal for a chilly night.

This casserole was a great way to use up leftover kielbasa and sauerkraut. I added some extra vegetables to make it a little healthier.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out really dry. I think I might have used too much bread crumbs.

I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut, but I loved this casserole. The Uber Braten and kielbasa were so flavorful that they completely masked the sauerkraut flavor.

I've made this casserole a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The flavors are amazing and it's so easy to make. I love that I can throw it in the crockpot and forget about it until dinnertime.
