Ingredients

• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 small onion, chopped
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
• 10 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 (14 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained
• 0.25 cup milk, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until barely crispy and fat is rendered, 6 to 7 minutes. Reserve 3 tablespoons fat in the pan; drain bacon slices on paper towels.

Step 3

Drain noodles. Cook onion in the skillet until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix in noodles to coat.

Step 4

Transfer noodle mixture to a casserole dish. Toss in sauerkraut, bacon, and mushroom soup. Measure milk into the soup can, shake, and pour into the dish. Mix to combine; season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in noodles and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until barely tender and firm to the bite, about 6 minutes.
