Steps:

- Top with remaining onion and beef mixture.
- Put uncooked egg noodles on top.

- I often double this recipe for a 9x13 pan.
- Hint: Make sure you cover all your noodles with soup or they will be rock hard along the edges, bad for the teeth.
- Zaar won't allow the correct descripton of the sauerkraut, it calls for a 1 pound 11 oz can so I just computed to get the recipe to take.
BUSY DAY HOTDISH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
- Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter, and once it melts, add the beef and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and scallions (saving a handful of the greens for garnish) and cook until the vegetables begin to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the paprika and several grinds of pepper, then stir to coat the beef in the spices. Stir in the corn.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef and stir to incorporate. Cook and stir until the flour begins to toast, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and cream gradually while stirring. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley, mustard, dill and thyme. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the curly fries in a tight layer over the top. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the cheese and fries are crispy and the sauce is bubbly, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved scallion greens and serve hot.
DAR'S SUPER SAVORY SAUERKRAUT POTATO BAKE
This dish has some of the flavors that I miss from my childhood in Germany. It is comfort food with a capital 'C.' I like to pair it with my own pork schnitzel or with baked chicken for a hearty dinner. This dish also includes a recipe for a creamy sauce that I use both in pot pies and as a substitute for condensed soups in many recipes. 'Guten Appetit!'

Tips:
- Choose a good quality sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is fresh and not too sour. You can also make your own sauerkraut at home.
- Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese works well. You can also add other cheeses, such as Swiss, Gruyère, or Gouda.
- Add some cooked meat. Ground beef, sausage, or bacon are all good options. You can also use leftover roasted chicken or turkey.
- Don't overcook the hotdish. It should be cooked until the cheese is melted and bubbly, but the sauerkraut should still have some crunch.
- Serve the hotdish immediately with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
