Polish Delight Casserole

Manda's Note:

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:)

I couldn't find kluski noodles so I used extra wide egg noodles. This dish was very easy and very good.
