UBER-BRATEN KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE

Uber-Braten Kielbasa and Sauerkraut Casserole image

A true German/Polish dish that is simply 'Delish'! I sometimes use Swiss cheese in place of the Cheddar, which is a good switch as well! This is a casserole that is very inexpensive, simple and quick to make - and not to mention leftovers are the best the next day as well!!

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package kluski (egg) noodles
⅓ cup butter
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups milk
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups sauerkraut, drained
1 (16 ounce) package kielbasa sausage, cubed
½ cup dry bread crumbs
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook kluski noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Whisk in flour, dry mustard, and black pepper; cook until smooth, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, and bring white sauce to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly, to make a smooth, thick sauce. Whisk 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese into sauce until melted.
Stir kluski noodles, sauerkraut, and kielbasa sausage into the sauce and transfer to a 3-quart casserole dish. Mix bread crumbs with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese in a bowl and sprinkle over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is heated through, about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

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 375º 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.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use a variety of bratwurst, such as a combination of mild, spicy, and smoked.
If you can't find kielbasa, you can substitute another type of sausage, such as Polish sausage or andouille.
Be sure to brown the bratwurst and kielbasa before adding them to the casserole. This will help to develop their flavor.
Use a combination of sauerkraut and cabbage in the casserole. The sauerkraut will add a sour flavor, while the cabbage will add a bit of sweetness.
Season the casserole with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as caraway seeds or paprika.
Bake the casserole for at least 30 minutes, or until the bratwurst and kielbasa are cooked through and the sauerkraut and cabbage are tender.
Serve the casserole with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, or noodles.

Conclusion:

This hearty and flavorful casserole is a great way to use up leftover bratwurst and kielbasa. It's also a great dish to serve on a cold winter day. With its combination of bratwurst, kielbasa, sauerkraut, and cabbage, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
