- 10 ounces low-fat cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1.5 cups low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Cook the whole wheat egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, cubed ham, frozen peas and carrots, low-fat cream of mushroom soup, and low-fat milk.
Add in the onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy!
