Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) cooked ham
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 medium (diced) onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the cooked egg noodles, diced ham, sautéed onions, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixing bowl. Fold everything together until evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for extra freshness and color.
