SAUERKRAUT CASEROLE

 



INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa or smoked sausage and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, along with the drained and rinsed sauerkraut. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded Swiss cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  6. Spread half of the sauerkraut and sausage mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  7. Spoon half of the cheese and sour cream mixture over the sauerkraut and sausage layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  8. Repeat the layering process with the remaining sauerkraut and sausage mixture and cheese and sour cream mixture.
  9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and bubbly.
  10. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and slightly crispy on top.
  11. Once the Sauerkraut Casserole is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  12. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor, if desired.
  13. Serve the Sauerkraut Casserole hot and enjoy the savory goodness of this comforting dish with your family and friends.
