Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, mix the cornflake crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter to make the topping.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the noodles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the kugel is set, bubbling around the edges, and the topping is golden brown.
