Sausage and Sauerkraut Stuffed Pasta Shells Casserole

Printed from: www.grandmotherskitchen.net

Ingredients

Serves 8

30 large pasta sea shells - cooked and cooled

2 Tablespoons butter

1 medium cooking onion, cut into small pieces

1 (720 ml) jar sauerkraut - We used Kuhne brand

500 grams turkey sausage or any sausage of your choice

2 cups chicken broth

Directions

1. Prepare all the ingredients.

2. When ingredients are ready for baking, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

3. Boil the pasta shells until al dente. You want the shells to be cooked but not mushy so they will hold together when you stuff them. Strain the pasta, put into a bowl and fill with cold water to keep the pasta shells from sticking together while you prepare the other ingredients.

4. Slice the onion into fine pieces. Melt the butter into a large frying pan adding the onions and saute until soft. Stir in the sauerkraut. Cook for a few minutes then transfer to a bowl and let cool so you can handle easily.

5. Now you can drain the cold water from the pasta shells before proceeding.

6. Slice the sausage into thin pieces.

7. Scoop a couple tablespoons of the sauerkraut mixture into each of the cooked pasta shells and arrange into a baking dish.

8. Place the sausage slices into each of the shells.

9. Pour the chicken broth over the casserole.

10. Place into the preheated oven and bake 30 minutes or until sausages are nicely browned. Watch to not overcook as you don't want to dry out the shells.

11. Serve. Delicious with sour cream.

ENJOY!
