OKTOBERFEST CASSEROLE



Oktoberfest Casserole image

In northeastern Ohio, we love German flavors. This delicious casserole is a trifecta mashup of my favorite dishes. It combines the flavors of classic cheesy hash brown casserole with bratwursts and sauerkraut, pretzels and beer cheese. It takes less than 10 minutes to mix and takes only one bowl. It's sure to please everyone any time of the year. —Sarah Markley, Ashland, Ohio

GERMAN CABBAGE CASSEROLE - KOHL UND HACKFLEISCH



German Cabbage Casserole - Kohl Und Hackfleisch image

Cabbage and meat mildly seasoned with garlic and onions in a creamy cheese sauce and topped with breadcrumbs for a pretty presentation! A real comfort food. Even those who say they HATE cabbage will eat this and like it! I have even made this without the meat- using bulgur and veggie broth. Here is how: Just replace the meat with the same amount of bulgur- (for 1 lb of meat sub 1 cup bulgur) you will want to soak the bulgur according to the instructions on the package- if you bought it in bulk here is how... Bring 2 cups of veggie broth ( can use bouillon and water) per 1 cup bulgur When broth is boiling stir in bulgur. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until bulgur is soft. All the broth should be absorbed. Fluff the bulgur with a fork as you would rice and add to your recipe. I have used beef, pork, turkey and chicken with great results too. *See NOTE for freezing, make ahead and left over tips*

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup bulgur (2.5 cups cooked, also known as cracked wheat) or 1 lb ground chicken, have all worked well
1 medium onion
1 garlic clove, minced, more if desired
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
1 medium cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Brown meat, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink and onion has turned clear.
  • Drain grease from pan and discard.
  • Add cabbage and cover.
  • Cook until cabbage is clear.
  • Add cheese and sour cream mixing well.
  • Pour all into greased casserole and top with bread crumbs.
  • Bake at 375 for 40 minutes.
  • *NOTE: to freeze- make ahead or re-heat left overs: compliments of Chef Marie Alice:* I froze half of this when I originally made it. This freezes excellently and if anything tastes even better after! I reheated it by melting a little butter in a skillet and then crumbling the partially thawed casserole into it, cooking and stirring until it was heated through.

GERMAN CASSEROLE

An easy, tangy, spicy, very filling casserole that fills your house with the great scent of good ethnic home cooking.

Provided by Kitcharen

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large raw potatoes, halved and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
2 medium onions, sliced thin
16 ounces sauerkraut
32 ounces ring bologna or 32 ounces smoked sausage, cut into 1 inch, slanted chunks
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large casserole dish with a lid, layer the ingredients in this order - 3 dabs of butter, potatoes, onions, sauerkraut, salt and pepper, sausage.
  • You can half everything and make two "stacks" of layers as well, if you prefer. Make sure you end with sausage on top.
  • Push ingredients down, if necessary, to compress and fit into your dish.
  • Bake until the potatoes are tender - I usually go for an hour and fifteen minutes for perfect potato tenderness for my family.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.
  • This dish is wonderful with home-made bread.
