Kugel
Preheat oven to 325°.Coat each banana with peel with a little of bit of neutral oil.Place on a roasting pan and roast at 325° for 10 minutes. Turn over and roast for another 5-10 minutes. You want them to be very dark.Remove from oven and let cool until you handle them. Slice open and remove roasted flesh to a bowl. Make sure the bananas are smooth. If you need to you can puree in a blender.
Bring salted water to a boil and "par" cook your noodles. If the package says 8 minutes do 5, for example.Drain and cool slightly.
Beat together with a hand mixer, eggs, milk, sugar, sour cream and cream cheese, until smooth.Stir in bananas.Add noodles to mixture and tossto coat well.
Butter a 9x13 pan and pour noodles in . Bake in 325° oven for 45 minutes.
Topping
While kugel is doing initial baking stir together the topping ingredients, butter brown sugar and your choice of crunch. The popular choice in my home was pecans, but I liked the Nilla wafers.At the 45 minute mark remove kugel from oven and add topping.Return to oven for another 15 minutes.Serve warm or cooled, It's delicious!
