Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 hrs

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, combine the sauerkraut and chopped onion. Add just enough water to barely cover the mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour, or until most of the water has evaporated and the sauerkraut is tender, stirring occasionally. (1 hour)

02

Step
10 mins

While the sauerkraut simmers, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain well and set aside. (10 minutes)

03

Step
7 mins

In a separate medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and saute for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are softened and lightly browned. (5 minutes)

04

Step
15 mins

In the skillet with the sauerkraut mixture, stir in the remaining butter, cooked pasta, and cream of mushroom soup. Cook and stir continuously for 15 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the sauce is creamy and well combined. (15 minutes)

05

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the pierogi mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter slightly before adding it to the sauerkraut mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms, for a more complex flavor profile.
If making ahead of time, cover and refrigerate the unbaked casserole. Add a splash of water or broth before reheating in the oven to prevent it from drying out.
For a vegetarian option, ensure the cream of mushroom soup is vegetarian-friendly.
Adding a sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill before serving enhances the dish's presentation and freshness.
For a richer flavor, try using bone broth

    I didn't have cream of mushroom soup, so I used cream of chicken instead. It was still amazing!
