Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 14 oz kielbasa sausage, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the sliced kielbasa to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until lightly browned.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the kielbasa mixture, stirring constantly to coat. Gradually add the milk, whisking to create a smooth sauce. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese until fully melted and combined.
Add the cooked egg noodles, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the skillet. Fold everything together gently to evenly coat with the cheese sauce.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Cheesy Kielbasa Noodle Casserole!
