Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of celery soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.75 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a little oil.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, sour cream, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Fold the cooked chicken, cooked egg noodles, and diced onion into the sauce mixture, ensuring everything is well coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the noodle mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the bread crumbs until well combined. Sprinkle the buttered crumbs over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbling, and the crumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
