The Perfect Combination of Flavors

When I first heard about this recipe, I had my doubts. I was worried that the sauerkraut would overpower everything else. But boy, was I wrong! This casserole combines sauerkraut with meat, egg noodles, and a surprising ingredient that ties it all together: brown sugar. The addition of tomato soup and Swiss cheese takes it to a whole new level. The result? A slightly sweet and earthy flavor with just a hint of bitterness from the sauerkraut. It’s seriously amazing!

How to Make Sauerkraut Casserole

To make this classic comfort dish, you’ll need to preheat your oven to 350°F. While it’s heating up, grease a 9×13 pan and set it aside. In a large skillet, brown ground beef with onions, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper until the meat is cooked through and the onions are translucent.

While the meat is browning, prepare the egg noodles according to the package directions. Once they’re cooked, drain the sauerkraut and spread it evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle brown sugar over the sauerkraut, adding a touch of sweetness to the dish.

Next, layer the drained egg noodles on top of the sauerkraut and brown sugar. Then, add the cooked ground beef mixture over the noodles. In a separate bowl, mix warm water with tomato soup until smooth. Pour the soup mixture over the hamburger layer, making sure it spreads into the corners. Finally, top it all off with shredded Swiss cheese.

Bake the casserole at 350°F for 30-45 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely browned and the edges are bubbling. Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving.

A Crowd-Pleasing Meal
