A kielbasa casserole, or Polish casserole, has deep roots in Polish history. People in Poland initially started making sausages in the Middle Ages as a way to preserve meat. Today, we just get to enjoy their invention in cheesy, warming comfort food, like this casserole. One of our favorite Polish recipes<\/a>, it has a creamy, savory sauce and a bit of acid from the sauerkraut<\/a> and kielbasa, all mixed with pasta.<\/p>\n Kielbasa is a type of Polish sausage (the two terms are often used interchangeably in the United States, though not in Poland), and it’s usually made from a mixture of pork with some beef or veal and some spices. Putting it into a Polish sausage casserole makes for a hearty dinner that can be prepped and frozen in advance. And if you really like the taste, try a potato kielbasa skillet<\/a>.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain it and transfer it to a large bowl.<\/p>\n Stir in the sausage, soup, sauerkraut, 2 cups of the cheese, the milk, onions, mustard and garlic.<\/p>\n Spoon the mixture into two greased 8-inch square baking dishes, then sprinkle it with the remaining cup of cheese. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown and bubbly, 45 to 50 minutes.<\/p>\n Store your kielbasa casserole in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. Gently reheat the leftovers when you’re ready to eat them.<\/p>\n If your casserole is unbaked, you can freeze it for up to three months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, then remove it from the fridge 30 minutes before baking. Bake it, uncovered, at 350\u00b0 until it’s golden brown and bubbly, 50 to 55 minutes.<\/p>\n If your casserole is baked, you can also freeze it for up to three months. Reheat it in the oven or in the microwave.<\/p>\n While penne is traditionally used here, you can use other short pasta types in place of it.<\/p>\n While it might change the flavor because of the meat and seasonings used, you could substitute in other beef or pork sausages.<\/p>\n You can also make this casserole in one 9×13-inch pan instead of two separate pans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kielbasa casserole is cozy and hearty, highlighting the rich, creamy flavors of Polish sausage and a mushroom-and-cheese
