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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking, followed by the heavy cream. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until thickened.

Step 7

Stir in the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Combine the cooked egg noodles, sausage mixture, and creamy sauce in a large mixing bowl. Mix well to coat evenly.

Step 9

Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for a crispy crust.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty Ukrainian Sausage Noodle Casserole!
