UBER-BRATEN KIELBASA AND SAUERKRAUT CASSEROLE
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!!

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.

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 a richer flavor, use dark beer instead of regular beer.
- If you don't have caraway seeds, you can substitute fennel seeds or cumin seeds.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Cover the casserole and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the casserole in a 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve the casserole with mashed potatoes, noodles, or bread.
Conclusion:
This hearty and flavorful casserole is a perfect meal for a cold winter night. The kielbasa, sauerkraut, and potatoes are all cooked in a savory beer and onion sauce, and the whole dish is topped with melted cheese. It's a delicious and easy meal that the whole family will enjoy.
