Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrot, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and carrots, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the frozen peas and stir until the vegetables are heated through.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, followed by the heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
Combine the cooked egg noodles and cheese sauce in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until the noodles are evenly coated.
Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with olive oil until coated. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, crunchy Doodle Noodle Casserole!
