Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional topping)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted, for breadcrumbs)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, and diced onion. Mix to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
Add the cooked and drained egg noodles to the bowl and gently fold them into the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Optional: If using breadcrumbs for a crispy topping, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5-7 minutes before serving.
