Kugel is a Jewish casserole typically made for holiday meals. They can be sweet or savory and made of almost anything, though the most common are potato, matzoh and my favorite, noodles kugel.
For many years, I've been making a sweet noodle kugel as part of our family Chanukah meal, and practice has made perfect with this never-fail recipe:
Boil about a half pound of egg noodles.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the noodles with:
6 tbs melted butter
1 1/2 lb sour cream
1 1/2 lb cottage cheese
8 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup raisins
Pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake 30-45 minutes until custard is set and the top is lightly browned. It will come out moist and delicious.
Happy Chanukah!
This looks amazing. My great grandmother used to make kugel when we went over to her house for Christmas Eve. She had a heavy German accent and when I was a little kid I always though she was saying "Cougar".
