Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
Push the onion and garlic to the side of the skillet and melt the butter in the center. Whisk in the flour to form a paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring the mixture stays smooth. Once combined, pour in the heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Add the cooked ground pork, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes to combine.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked egg noodles with the pork and sauce mixture. Spread evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pork Noodle Casserole!
