Ingredients
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers (e.g., Ritz)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, onion, peas and carrots, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix well.
- Add cooked noodles and shredded chicken to the soup mixture; stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- In a small bowl, mix crushed crackers with melted butter; sprinkle over the cheese.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly and topping is golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme to the sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or microwave.
- To make ahead, assemble casserole without the topping, cover, and refrigerate. Add topping just before baking; increase bake time by 10 minutes.
