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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the sliced kielbasa to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until lightly browned.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese until fully melted and combined.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 10

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Cheesy Kielbasa Noodle Casserole!
