Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole
A comforting casserole filled with chicken, noodles, and cheese.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 ounces dry wide egg noodles
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 20 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 10 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Be sure not to overcook them; al dente is best. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, chopped chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, mixed vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Make sure to spread it out evenly for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and melted unsalted butter. This adds a nice crunch to the top of your casserole. Sprinkle this mixture over the casserole.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the casserole is warm and bubbly. You'll know it's ready when the edges are gently bubbling.
- Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This also helps the flavors meld together. Enjoy!
