This casserole version swaps out the corned beef for kielbasa sausage and incorporates egg noodles for extra bulk. The result is a hearty and satisfying meal that's perfect for chilly nights. The creamy, savory filling is balanced by the tangy sauerkraut and the crunchy, buttery bread crumb topping. Serve it alongside a simple green salad for a complete meal that's sure to please everyone at the table.
