I just had to get an early start on the Kugel recipes, since I had never cook any before. This was my first one and I am hooked. I loved it. It is so easy to make. I did make a couple of changes due to not having the exact ingredients, nothing major. The only real difference that I made was adding 1 cup of chopped broccoli. DH and I both love broccoli and cheese, so I figured, why not try it. This is definately a keeper. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

This was comfort food at its highest level! I made this for the Kugelthon, and I am so glad that I chose this recipe. It's like macaroni and cheese, just upped a notch! I didn't use Swiss cheese in the end because my kids don't like the flavor. I also left out the onion juice, which I can't buy in my country, and the Worcestershire sauce, which we don't like. The kugel stood up well without these ingredients. The sour cream made it especially rich and delicious. I will be making this many times in the near future! Thanks, Ducky, and the rest of the family thanks you, too!

I felt the 1 hour cooking time was too long. I didn't have either the garlic or onion juice so that was the only ingredient I left out.
