Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups diced cooked ham
- 1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground mustard (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the diced ham and frozen peas, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and ground mustard (if using), stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Fold the cooked egg noodles into the sauce, tossing gently to coat them evenly. Reduce the heat to low and let the casserole warm through for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Serve hot, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of additional cheese or chopped fresh parsley.
