Kugel (Yiddish: קוגל kugl, pronounced [ˈkʊɡl̩] or [ˈkɪɡl̩]) is a baked casserole, most commonly made from egg noodles (lokshen) or shredded potato. It is a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish dish, often served on Sabbath and Jewish holidays. American Jews also serve it for Thanksgiving dinner. In Hungary it is known as "vargabéles" and served as a sweet dish.
