Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, slice the kielbasa into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the kielbasa slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, browned kielbasa, and cheese sauce. Mix until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Kielbasa Cheesy Noodle Casserole!
