Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350
Bring 4 quarts water to boil and add the noodles. Lightly boil for 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While noodles are cooking, in skillet, fry bacon till slightly crisp. Remove from skillet leaving drippings in skillet add onion, apple, salt and pepper. Saute for 4-5 minutes. Add bratwurst and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes.
Lower heat and add cream cheese and reserved bacon. Continue stirring until cream cheese is blended. Remove from heat and stir in sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Spaetzle noodles.
Spray a 9x13 baking dish/pan. Add mixture to pan and top with pats of butter.
Bake covered for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
Note--We don't really care for the sauerkraut in this so instead of using the sauerkraut I use the whole 16oz. bag of Spaetzle noodles.
