  • 1 cup 150g frozen peas and carrots
  • ½ tsp onion powder

Instructions
 

Cook Noodles

  • I cook 8 oz egg noodles al dente per package instructions, drain, and set aside for these Chicken Noodle Casserole dishes.

Mix Creamy Base

  • In a bowl, I combine 1 can cream of mushroom soup, ½ cup sour cream, 1 cup cheese, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper for these hearty noodle bakes.

Add Chicken and Veggies

  • I fold in 2 cups chicken and 1 cup peas and carrots for these easy casserole meals.

Combine with Noodles

  • I mix noodles into the creamy mixture, ensuring even coating for these comforting family dinners.

Bake Casserole

  • I transfer to a greased 9x13-inch dish, top with extra cheese if desired, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until bubbly for this simple recipe.

Serve Casserole

  • I garnish with parsley and serve warm for these hearty noodle bakes.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep and great flavor.
  • Undercook noodles slightly to avoid sogginess after baking.
  • Freeze leftovers in individual portions for easy future meals.
  • Layer cheese halfway through baking for extra gooey texture.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme just before serving for brightness.
