Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers (like Ritz)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion powder, pepper, and salt. Stir until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked chicken, thawed vegetables, and cooked noodles to the soup mixture. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
  5. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Let the cheesy baked pasta with chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute one can of condensed soup with a homemade white sauce made from 3 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons flour, and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth.
  • You can prepare this entire casserole ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the initial baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • Use rotisserie chicken to make this a quick weeknight chicken dinner solution.
