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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the noodles cook, slice the kielbasa into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, browned kielbasa, and cheese sauce. Mix until evenly coated.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Kielbasa Cheesy Noodle Casserole!
