Sauerkraut Casserole image

Mom brewed her own sauerkraut and, of course, the cabbage was from our big farm garden! Blending the kraut with spicy sausage and apples was Mom's favorite way to fix it, and I still love this country dish. -Rosemary Pryor, Pasadena, Maryland

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb ground beef or turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
2 can(s) 10.75 oz. tomato soup
1 can(s) 10.75 oz. warm water
1 pkg wide egg noodles
2 can(s) 14 oz. sauerkraut, drained very well
3/4 c brown sugar
2 c swiss cheese, shredded
garlic powder with parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Brown ground beef or turkey with chopped onion and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper until done.
  • 2. Prepare egg noodles according to package. Make sure you don't over cook them. You want them slightly al dente.
  • 3. Drain sour kraut and pour into the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. (or you can use a casserole dish or roasting pan if you'd like) Sprinkle with brown sugar.
  • 4. Pour drained (but not rinsed) egg noodles over sour kraut and brown sugar.
  • 5. Pour hamburger or turkey over egg noodles.
  • 6. Mix 1 can of warm water with the 2 cans of tomato soup. Make sure you have all the lumps out of the soup and it is mixed well and smooth. Pour over hamburger or turkey evenly. Use a fork as you are pouring the soup along the sides of the pan to pull the mixture away from the edges to allow some of the soup to seep down the sides slightly.
  • 7. Top with cheese.
  • 8. Bake at 350° for 30-45 min until cheese is brown and edges are bubbling. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
  • 9. Don't forget the garlic bread and/or a nice lettuce salad to accompany this great casserole. Enjoy!
  • 10. ****This recipe is great and easy to make ahead of time. Just assemble and throw it in the fridge then pull it out when you get home from work and pop it in the oven. If you do this though, you may need to adjust your baking time to closer to 60 min.****

Provided by Patti Barrett

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes     Pot Pie Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
⅓ cup thousand island salad dressing
1 (8 ounce) tube refrigerated crescent rolls (such as Pillsbury®)
¾ pound thin-sliced cooked corned beef
8 slices Swiss cheese
1 beaten egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Mix together the sauerkraut and thousand island salad dressing in a bowl until well combined. Unroll the crescent roll dough, and cut dough in half; place one half of the dough onto a floured work surface, and pinch the perforations of the dough closed to make 1 sheet. Roll the dough sheet out to about 12 inches square, and fit the dough into the prepared baking sheet. Pinch perforations closed on 2nd half of dough; roll out to about 9 inches square, and set aside.
  • Prebake the dough crust in the baking dish in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and place 4 slices of cheese into the bottom of the crust; top cheese slices with the corned beef, and spread with the sauerkraut mixture. Lay 4 remaining slices of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut mixture. Lay the 2nd sheet of crescent roll dough onto the filled baking sheet, and press the top crust down onto the edges of the dish to seal. Brush with beaten egg white.
  • Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes; let stand about 5 minutes before slicing.

  • Use a variety of cheeses: This will add depth of flavor to the casserole. Gruyère, Swiss, and cheddar are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The sauerkraut should be tender but still have a bit of crunch.
  • Serve the casserole hot: This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Swiss sauerkraut casserole is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give this casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
