Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 3 cups cooked chicken or turkey (shredded or diced)
- 2 cups divided sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup (canned)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken or turkey, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, peas and carrots, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooked and drained egg noodles to the mixture and stir gently until the noodles are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, melted butter, and the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir to create a topping mixture.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping evenly over the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling at the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
