Here’s a simple way to bring Oktoberfest flavors to your table! This one-dish dinner from our Betty Crocker Make It In One—Dinner in One Pan, One Pot, One Sheet Pan…and More cookbook satisfies your craving for hearty German fare with kielbasa, potatoes, onions and cabbage, all seasoned with bacon, Dijon mustard and caraway seed, then topped with ooey, gooey melted cheesy lusciousness. Ready in just 40 minutes, it’s perfect as a refreshing change from your usual dinner routine or as a crowd-pleaser for friends. Festive and delicious, it adds a touch of oomph to any meal.

Nothing else is needed with this all-in-one casserole—it’s hearty enough for the biggest appetites. Or if you’re looking to add a side or two, try a hunk of robust, dark pumpernickel bread and sliced apples on the side. Go all in on the theme by serving German beer to the grown-ups and sparkling apple juice for the kiddos, wearing your best lederhosen, of course!
