Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crushed butter crackers (like Ritz)
  • 4 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.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Stir in the thawed peas and carrots, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly 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 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the cracker topping.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of celery soup for the cream of mushroom soup if you prefer.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley to the noodle mixture.
  • If you do not have butter crackers, use 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs mixed with 2 tablespoons of melted butter instead.
