Sauerkraut Caserole

Servings: 6-8

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 medium white onion, diced
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 2 cans (10.75 oz) tomato soup
• 1 can (10.75 oz) warm water
• 1 package of wide egg noodles
• 2 cans (14 oz) sauerkraut, well-drained
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Set it aside.
2. In a large skillet, combine the ground beef, diced onion, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Brown the ground beef and cook the onion until it turns translucent.
3. While the meat mixture is cooking, prepare the wide egg noodles according to the package instructions.
4. Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly and spread it evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the sauerkraut with brown sugar.
5. Layer the drained (but not rinsed) egg noodles over the sauerkraut and brown sugar, followed by the cooked ground beef mixture.
6. In a separate bowl, mix 1 can of warm water with 2 cans of tomato soup until smooth. Pour this tomato soup mixture evenly over the ground beef layer, ensuring it reaches all corners of the baking dish. Finish by topping the casserole with shredded Swiss cheese.
7. Bake the casserole at 350°F for 30-45 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown, and the edges are bubbling. Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Hearty Sauerkraut and Ground Beef Bake!
