Notes

To save dishes, cook everything in the same large pot or Dutch oven. Don't overcook the egg noodles as they will get too soft when baked.

You may need 2 packages of smoked sausage depending on how much sausage you want in the casserole.

Use any short pasta for egg noodles and frozen peas or green beans for the cabbage. Sub olive oil or cooking oil for some of the butter, if desired.
