Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Wide egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Milk
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 ounces Chipped beef, roughly chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, fresh and chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continually to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring often, until it begins to thicken (about 4-5 minutes).
Add the cream cheese to the saucepan and stir until smooth and completely incorporated.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Fold the chopped chipped beef into the cheese sauce, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles and the cheese-beef sauce. Mix until the noodles are fully coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for a slightly crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting dish with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
