Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Ukrainian sausage (kielbasa)
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, drain, and set aside.
While the noodles cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and paprika, cooking for an additional minute.
Slice the Ukrainian sausage into bite-sized rounds and add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove the sausage and onion mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking, followed by the heavy cream. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
Stir in the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Combine the cooked egg noodles, sausage mixture, and creamy sauce in a large mixing bowl. Mix well to coat evenly.
Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for a crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty Ukrainian Sausage Noodle Casserole!
