Polish Delight Casserole

"I have no idea where this recipe originated, but it is the ultimate Polish comfort food to me. It is a very versatile recipe, as I have made it several times with cooked, sliced cabbage instead of the sauerkraut; substituted cream of celery soup for cream of chicken, and I have even made this once using ham in place of the pork. It uses simple ingredients, and only needs a big loaf of bread or fresh rolls with butter to satisfy any growling belly:)"

  1. I read through this recipe and thought "EWwww!, what a weird combination of ingredients". I tried it though and, "WOW", DEE-LISH!!! It will be a regular in our house from now on. Thanks!!!!
     
  2. I couldn't find kluski noodles so I used extra wide egg noodles. This dish was very easy and very good.
     
  3. This was soooooo good and very satisfying. Great recipe. Thank you! Margie
     
  4. Thank you, Manda. I've been looking a long, long time for a Polish pork stew recipe that I was served as a child by one of my hometown's many great Polish cooks. Every attempt fell short and any net searches would return recipes for Bigos, which is good, but not what I wanted. I used your recipe, adding 2 lg. potatoes, 1 medium rutabaga, 2 peeled & chopped fresh apples, 1 Tbl. caraway seeds and fresh mushrooms instead of canned. I omitted the noodles. I baked it at 300 for three hours and it tasted EXACTLY as I remembered! It never occurred to me to try this mixture of soups as I'm sure the original used a combo of some sort of homemade gravy/sauce with sour cream added. This was much easier and the taste was perfect. Thank you, thank you, for this wonderful taste of childhood!! Even though I made so many changes, I gave this recipe 5 stars as I can tell your original recipe would be delicious, as well.
     
  5. followed the recipe except added some caraway seeds to the mixture. we enjoyed the casserole but thought it was a little bland. i believe using kielbasi instead of pork tenderloins would make this a real winner.

  2. This was great. I used kielbasa instead of pork and wide egg noodles. I served it with Dorothy Parks Onion Beer Bread for a great meal and great leftovers too !

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!) I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit. My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
