Michelle's Notes:

I get asked to make haluski so often, so I am posting. Lots of flavor. I don't make my own noodles anymore. Some people add bacon or sour cream -- I never do. You can lighten up on the butter, but again, if you're looking to save calories then Eastern European old-school food probably is not the way to go. :) I like serving this with good quality kielbasi or smoked sausage sauteed with some beer.

 

Directions

1
Dice in the onion (not real fine) and separately chop the cabbage. Set aside.
2
Get your cooking water for the noodles boiling with some whole peppercorns (about 6-10).
3
Melt 1 stick of butter in large skillet. Make sure the butter gets frothy & golden. This is gonna give it amazing flavor.
4
Add the onions & start getting them to a golden color & tender. Salt & add some Hungarian paprika to the onions. Then, add the cabbage some caraway seeds, & stir and cook through the cabbage.
5
Cook the noodles according to directions (don't overcook -- keep them on the firm side). When the noodles are done, take a few spoonfuls of the noodle water & mix in with the onions & cabbage to bind it all together nicely.
6
Drain the noodles & add the other stick of butter to the noodle pot. It will start melting because the pot is still hot. Add the noodles & stir. If you didn't use peppercorns, add a generous amount of fresh ground black pepper.
7
Mix all together. I like to transfer this to the crockpot then & keep on warm, or you can it immediately. I just find warming it all together for a little bit of time after mixing brings out the flavors. I do add more butter. :)

Enjoy!

I like the sausage/kielbasa separately. Some people add it right to the haluski, though, and I've done that before & it's good. To me, I like the beer & sausage flavors separately & the butter & brown onions to be the star flavors of the haluski. You can't go wrong. Thanks, Billie! I love Polish/Hungarian food -- grew up with it!

yummmy, I love this dish. My Grandmother used to make it, and I make a variation of it, we like Amish Summer Sausage with it.

What is Amish Summer Sausage? Here in Central PA, lebanon bologna is referred to as summer sausage.

@Michelle...the one we buy is by Carriage House or also labeled "Grand Champion Summer Sausage" (Made in Amish Country; Winesburg Meats-Winesburg, Ohio).
The lable on the packages have a Horse pulling an Amish Carriage on it.
It just has the best flavor of any summer sausage 'to me'......much better that the Hickory Farms brand.

My daughters love this! It is one of their childhood favorites. They are both grown now, but they both request it when they come home. Looking for a way to change it up, I add fennel seed to the cabbage. Also, one of my girls has had to go gluten free so now I use rice noodles when I make it for her...she still loves it!
