Bacon and Sauerkraut Pasta Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon and Sauerkraut Pasta Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by filling a large pot with lightly salted water and bringing it to a rolling boil.

2. Step 2

   Once the water is bubbling, toss in the egg noodles and let them cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until they’re just tender—this should take about six minutes.

3. Step 3

   While the noodles are cooking, grab a large skillet and cook the chopped bacon over medium-high heat.

4. Step 4

   Keep an eye on it, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the fat has rendered, which will take around six to seven minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once done, set aside three tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet and drain the crispy bacon on paper towels to absorb any excess grease.

6. Step 6

   Next, in that same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s softened, about four to five minutes.

7. Step 7

   Now, it’s time to bring the noodles into the mix! Drain the noodles and stir them into the skillet, coating them in the delicious bacon fat.

8. Step 8

   Transfer this tasty noodle mixture into a casserole dish, then add the drained sauerkraut, the crispy bacon, and a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup.

9. Step 9

   Don’t forget to pour in some milk—give the soup can a little shake to get every last bit out—and mix everything together until well combined.

10. Step 10

    Season your dish with salt and pepper to taste, adding just the right amount of flavor.
